Ibn ‘Umar said the Prophet said:
“O people! Indeed, you will die and you will go to Allah. May Allah have mercy on an ‘Abd (servant of Allah) who talked and earned goodness, or kept quiet and stayed safe.”
“Indeed, the tongue controls the person more than anything else.”
“Surely, all the human’s talk is against him except the remembrance of Allah, or bidding good, or forbidding evil, or making peace between the believers is for him.”
Mu’adh said: “O Messenger of Allah! Will we be judged by what we say?”
He said: “Is there anything which throws people into Hell except the harvest of their tongues? He who wants to be safe, he should control what his tongue says, and guard his heart, and do good deeds and limit his hopes.”
A few days later, the following verse was revealed:
“There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) him who=2 0enjoins sadaqah (charity) or kindness or peace-making among the people. Whoso does that, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall bestow on him a vast reward.” (an-Nisa’ 4:114)
