Abhorrence and hatred of the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt
Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said quoting from prophet Muhammad (PBUH): “Blessed is a person who meets Qa’im from my Ahl al-Bayt in a state that he has imitated him and has followed him and the Imams before him and has abhorred their enemies to Allah. Such people are my associates and the most honourable of my ummah (nation) before me.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, 51/72, Hadith 15)
Imam Kadhim (PBUH) said to Younes ibn Abd al-Rahman: “Blessed are our Shias; those who hold to our friendship and are resolute in acceptance of our Wilayah and abhorrence of our enemies during the Occultation of our Qa’im.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, 51/151, Hadith 6)
Controlling the tongue, controlling the tongue, controlling the tongue
It is narrated that Imam Baqir (PBUH) told to Jabir Jo’afi: “Blessed are people who are resolute in believing us during the Occultation.” Jabir asked: “What is the most preferable act of a believer during that time?” Imam said: “Controlling the tongue (silence…)”
Bihar al-Anwar, 52/145, Hadith 66
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “You should keep long silence, because it is a mean to drive away the devil and your help in the affairs of your religion.”
Safinah al-Bihar 2/510

Sometimes a word can rule a person out as a religious man. Also, controlling the tongue is so important that it is related to other body limbs according to narrations.
