✧ Hamza with Nun
"إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَقُولَ الْكَلِمَةَ لَا يَقُولها إِلَّا ليُضْحكَ بِهَا النَّاسَ يَهْوى بِهَا أبْعدَ مِمَّا بينَ السَّمَاءِ والأرَض، وَإنَّهُ لَيزِلُّ عن لِسَانِه أشَدَّ مَمَّا يَزِل عَنْ قَدَمَيهِ".

"Indeed, a servant may say a word, saying it only to make people laugh, and it throws him farther than the distance between the heaven and the earth. And indeed, he may slip with his tongue more than he slips with his feet."
