1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Awn al-Qalanisi from ibn abu Ya’fur from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever meets the Muslims with two faces and tongues, he on the Day of Judgment will be raised with two tongues of fire.”

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from abu Shaybah from al-Zuhri from abu ‘Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The worst servant (of Allah) is a servant who has two faces and tongues. He praises his brother (in belief) on his face and backbites him in his absence. If his brother (in belief) gains something, he envies him, and if he faces difficult conditions, he betrays him.”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Asbat from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn Hammad in a marfu’ manner from the Imam who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, said to Jesus, son of Mary (a.s.), ‘O Jesus, your tongue must be one tongue in private and in public so also must be your heart. I warn you against your own soul and Myself am a sufficient expert over your (activities). Two tongues are not proper for one mouth just as two swords are not proper in one sheath or two hearts in one chest, and so also are minds.’”
