Assalam alaikum,
Luqman was an Abyssinian slave carpenter. His master ordered him one
day to slay a sheep, he did. Then his master asked him to bring him the
best two parts of the sheep. He brought to him its tongue and its heart.
After a few days he ordered him again to slay a sheep and bring him the
worst two parts of the sheep. He did, and brought him its tongue and
its heart.
His master then said to him, "When I asked you to bring me the best two
pieces of the sheep you gave me its tongue and its heart; and when I
asked you to bring me the worst two parts of the sheep you again gave me
its tongue and its heart!"
Luqman explained, "Nothing is better than the tongue and the heart when
they are good, and nothing is worse than the tongue and the heart if
they are bad"
[Abu Dawood, Daleel al-Saileen, p 125]
