There are various ways to achieve social improvement or corruption. Speaking is one of the most effective means to achieve either. An influential speaker can direct the human society towards noble characteristics and individual values. Likewise, they can lead a society towards moral and spiritual decay or corruption. They can easily agitate the still nation and excite them to move and change their lives or even direct the aroused feelings of calmness and pacification.
An example of this would be when Imam Ali (as) was martyred in Kufa. The news of His death was spread throughout the Muslim communities. When the news of his martyrdom in the prayer niche reached Sham (Syria), all the people were surprised. They were so influenced by the speeches (rumour) delivered against Imam Ali (as) by the men hired by Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan that they asked themselves, "Did Imam Ali pray?" The extent of the influence of the tongue is so much that as you can see the most pious man who lived his whole lifetime to establish the prayer, is presented as being one who does not pray in the minds of the Syrians.
Busr ibn Arta'ah and the Hamdan Tribe:
When Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan sent Busr ibn Arta'ah to the Hamdan Tribe to rule, Busr ibn Arta'ah exercised so much oppression and committed so many crimes that no one dared to object. At this time, a brave lady called Sawdah went to Sham (Syria) to defend the sacred religion and the people. When Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan was informed of her arrival, he was surprised. He said that he was trying to arrest her with no results. Now she had gone there on her own. He admitted her to the court. When she entered, she bitterly greeted Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan.
Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan said: "See! You had to come and greet me." Sawdah replied: "Do not be proud of your rule. There is a term for everything. It will soon end. Do not be so attached to your position since it will not last." Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan said: "O' Sawdah! Do you remember the days of war when you sang heroic poetry among the soldiers of Imam Ali? What was your goal then? Was it not my destruction? Sing them now." Sawdah said: "Your oppression has made me forget everything. Now I have come to complain against the oppression of Busr ibn Arta'ah. He has oppressed us. He has confiscated the people's property, and has murdered the men." Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan said: "Now I will send you to him to treat you as he pleases."
Then Sawdah said: "May Allah (SWT) bless the pure body that is buried, with whom justice was buried too." Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan said: "Whom are you referring to?" Sawdah replied: "I am referring to my Master, Imam Ali (as)." You should know that I had a similar complaint that I expressed to Imam Ali (as) before. Imam Ali (as) was a lone and wanted to start his prayers. When he noticed me, he asked the reason. When I told him that I had come to complain against his governor, he touched his beard and his eyes overflowed with tears and he said: "O' Allah (SWT)! Be a witness that I did not send my governor to oppress your servants." He then wrote the order to fire the governor and handed it to me. Now you threaten me instead of considering my complaint. This is the difference between Imam Ali (as) and you.
Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan got upset and wrote a letter to Busr ibn Arta'ah to stop his crimes and acts of oppression. Thus, we can see that the tongue can be used as an effective tool. It is so effective that it can even be used to change the views of a cruel man such as Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan. Then Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan said: "It was Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib who made you too proud by saying: If I were the gatekeeper of Heaven I will tell the Bani Hamdan tribe to safely enter Heaven."
