Asallamu Alaykum Respected Brothers and Sisters!

Mu'az-bin Jabal said: I asked: O Prophet of Allah (S.A.W.), shall we be punished for what we utter? He said: O Ibn Jabal, your mother be heavy with you, will a man be overturned in Hell over his nose except for harms of his tongue?

Abdullah Saqafi said: I asked: O Prophet of God (S.A.W.), what matter do you fear for me? He caught his tongue and said: This!

Mu'az asked : O Prophet of Allah
(S.A.W.), what action is best? The Prophet (S.A.W.) drew out his tongue and placed his finger on it and said: The faith of a man does not become alright till his mind does not become so, and his mind does not become alright till his tongue does not become so. He from whose harm his neighbor is not safe will not enter paradise. The Prophet said: He who is pleased with Islam shall take to silence. He said: When a man rises from bed, his limbs get up and rebuke his tongue. In other words, they say to his tongue, fear Allah regarding us, because when you are alright, we are alright and when you are wrong, then we are wrong.

Once Umar (RA) saw Abu Bakar (RA) drawing out his tongue and asked him: O Caliph of the people, what are you doing? He said: It drags me to the place of Destruction. The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: There is no such limb of body which will not complain to Allah about the harsh treament of the tongue..Ibn Mas'ud said that the Prophet (S.A.W) Said: Major sin of a Man accrue from his tongue.

The dangers and harms of tongue are many and there is no rescue from them except SILENCE. For this reason, Shariat recomments it. The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: He who keeps silent gets salvation. He also said: Silence is a rule and few people can observe it. The father of Sufiyan asked the Prophet (S.A.W.): O Prophet of Allah , give me such news about Islam which I shall ask nobody after you. The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: Say, I have believed and stand on it firmly. I asked him What matter shall I fear most. He hinted with his hand at the tongue. Uqbah-b-Amer said: I asked: O Messenger of Allah, how can I get salvation? He said: Hold your tongue, make your house spacious and repent for your sins. The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: If a man can give me guarantee of the things placed between his two cheeks and his two thighs, I can give him guarantee of Jannah (Paradise).

I end with this last saying InshaAllah

Luqman was once asked: What is your wisdom? He said: I dont ask what I know and I don't utter what does not do me any benefit.
Imam Ghazzali's IHYA ULUM-ID-DIN (Vol. III). Chap (Harms of the Tongue)

May Allah protect our tongue and May we implement on the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad.. Ameen.
