الامام السجاد علیه السلام: اَلْقَوْلُ الْحَسَنُ يُثْرِى الْمالَ وَ يُنْمِى الرِّزْقَ وَ يُنْسِئُ فِى الاَْجَلِ وَ يُحَبِّبُ اِلَى الاَْهْلِ وَ يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ.

Imam al-Sajjad (as): Good speech increases one’s wealth, Increases one’s sustenance, and delays one’s death. It makes (its teller) beloved among his family and admits him to the Paradise.(Al-Amālī, p. 2, session one.)

Exposition:

(Abu Hamza quotes from Imam Sajjad (as) that he said: Good speech increases one’s wealth, increases one’s sustenance and develops it. It delays one’s death. It makes one beloved among his relatives and family. These are all the worldly benefits of good speech and decent words, which is a speech that is according to religious standards, like the name of God, and the Prophet and the hereafter and the world and hadith and religious and felicitous life and that which is uttered affably; decent speech should necessarily be uttered affably and eloquently. These are its worldly benefits. And its heavenly benefit is that it leads one to the Paradise.
