ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Zakariyyā said :

أخبرنا الحوطي، أخبرنا وهب بن عمرو بن عبد الأحموسي، أخبرنا أبو سبأ عتبة بن تميم، عن عبد الله بن أبي زكريا، قال : من كثر كلامه كثر سقطه، ومن كثر سقطه قل ورعه، ومن قل ورعه مات قلبه، ومن مات قلبه حرم الله عليه الجنة

Whoever speaks excessively will make frequent mistakes, and whoever makes frequent mistakes will have little piety, and whoever has little piety will have a dead heart, and whoever’s heart is dead, Allāh will forbid Paradise for him.
