Another factor that corrupts the tongue is divulging other people's secrets. This is considered bad in Islam.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "When someone says something and goes away, what he said is left as a trust near the one who hears him." Prophet Muhammad (saw) also said: "What others tell you is entrusted to you."
Imam Hasan (as) has been narrated as saying: "It is an act of treason to divulge your brethren's secrets."
13 - Fake Promise:
One of the factors that corrupt the tongue is making fake promises upon which one does not act. Acting upon what you promise is one of the signs of divine men. We read the following in Noble Qur'an:
"O' ye who believe! Fulfill (all) obligations." [Sura Al-Ma'ida 5:1]
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "Making promises is a part of religion."
Allah (SWT) has mentioned in Noble Qur'an Prophet Isma'il (Ishmael) to be strictly true to what he promised: "Also mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what he promised, and he was an apostle (and) a Prophet." [Sura Maryam 19:54]
14 - False swearing or Statements:
Lying is a great sin. It will result in the loss of one's honor. Many Qur'anic verses and traditions outline the wickedness of lying. Abu Sa'eed was quoted to have heard the Prophet Muhammad (saw) supplicate to Allah (SWT) as follows: "O' Allah! Please purify my heart from hypocrisy, purify me from acts of fornication, and purify my tongue from lying."
Imam Baqir (as) said: " Lying will destroy man's faith."
Imam Ali (as) said: "No man shall taste faith unless he avoids lying, be it serious or as a joke."
A man told Prophet Muhammad (saw): "O' Prophet of Allah (SWT)! Would a believer commit a sexual sin?" He (saw) said: "Maybe sometimes." The man asked: "Would a believer tell a lie?" Prophet Muhammad (saw) answered: "Never."
Allah (SWT) the Exalted said in Noble Qur'an: "It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah that forge falsehood: it is they who lie!" [Sura An-Nahl 16:105]
It was quoted on the authority of Imam Hasan Askari (as): "All sins are stored in a house. The key to that house is lying." This implies that if one lies he will fall into sin.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "One only tells lies because of his feeling of being lowly."
On the other hand, honesty is rooted in a feeling of self-security and confidence. One day Hajjaj extended his sermon when he was lecturing on the pulpit. A man cried from the crowd: "It is time for prayer. Cut it short. Neither time will stop in respect for you nor will Allah (SWT) accept your apology." Hajjaj became upset about this open statement in public and had the man imprisoned. When the man's relatives went to see Hajjaj and told him that the man is insane, Hajjaj said that he had to confess to this fact himself. They went to see the man and told him to confess to being insane to be freed. The man said: "Allah (SWT) has created me healthy and intelligent. I am not mad. Why should I falsely confess to being insane?" Then Hajjaj was told about what the man said. Hajjaj respected his honesty and freed him.
