The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) used the example of a cow rolling its tongue while eating to illustrate how someone talks excessively and without purpose. We should be mindful of our words, as we are accountable for every single one we utter. We should think before we speak, making sure that what we say is beneficial and not harmful to ourselves or others around us. We should also remember that it's better to remain silent than to say something wrong or hurtful.
