BREAKING A PROMISE IS ALSO CAUSING HARM
There are some acts that people commit and are not mindful
that these are also included in causing harm to other people with one’s words,
for example not keeping one’s promises. For example, we promise a person that
we will visit them at a certain time, or that we will do something for them by
a certain time. But then we neither do it, nor bother telling them that we
won’t be able to do it. This causes distress and inconvenience to the other
person and is comprised of two sins. The first sin is that of breaking a
promise. The second sin is that of causing harm to someone through one’s words.
This is also included in the meaning of the Hadith above about not causing harm
to other people through one’s words.
