The next negative trait of the soul is vain and evil speech, such as lying. A muslim should only speak words which are beneficial to them in this world or in the next. This has been advised in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 176. They should avoid evil words as this will cause them harm and avoid speech which is neither sinful nor beneficial namely, vain speech, as this will only waste their precious time which will be a great regret for them on Judgment Day. A muslim should remember that it only takes a single evil word to cause them to plummet into Hell on Judgment Day. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 3970.
The next negative trait of the soul is being stingy. The root cause of this trait is the excess love of the material world. A muslim should remember that whatever they hoard will only be left behind for others to enjoy while they are held accountable for it. Whereas, whatever they send ahead in the form of charity will testify on their behalf on Judgment Day. In addition, according to the Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 1961, the miser is far from Allah, the Exalted, far from people, far from Paradise but close to Hell. Whereas, the generous person is close to Allah, the Exalted, close to people, close to Paradise and far from Hell. If a muslim struggles to dedicate time beyond the obligatory duties in pleasing Allah, the Exalted, the least they can do is be very generous for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, hoping this attitude will lead to their salvation.
Among the negative traits of the soul is being deluded by false praise they receive from people. A muslim should remember that they know themselves better than others in respect to their secret actions and intentions. Therefore, they should never become deluded by the praise of people and instead understand it will not save them from the punishment of Allah, the Exalted, as He is fully aware of all their actions and intentions.
