عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ : أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . وَكَانَ طَوِيلَ الصَّمْتِ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ شَرِيكٍ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .

Tamim bin Yazid, the freed slave of Banu Zam'ah, reports this account from a Companion: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us in a sermon and said: "O people! There are two things; whoever Allah Almighty protects from the evil of both of them will enter Paradise." A man from the Ansar stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Will you not tell us about them?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: "There are two things; whoever Allah Almighty protects from the evil of both of them will enter Paradise." The narrator says: When the same exchange took place the third time, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stopped that man and said: "You can see that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wants to give us glad tidings, and you are stopping him?" That man said: "I fear that people may come to rely on it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two things; whoever Allah Almighty protects from the evil of both of them will go to Paradise: that which is between his two jaws (that is, the tongue) and that which is between his two legs (that is, the private parts)."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Tamim, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ ثِنْتَيْنِ مَنْ فَعَلَهُمَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ؟ " . قُلْنَا : بَلَى . يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " يَحْفَظُ الرَّجُلُ مَا بَيْنَ فُقْمَيْهِ ، وَمَا بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ " . قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي فَقُلْنَا : وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَدِيدٌ ، كَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْمَرْءُ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ مَا بَيْنَ فُقْمَيْهِ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ ؟ قَالَ : فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ ذَكَرْتَ خَصْلَتَيْنِ شَدِيدَتَيْنِ ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَمْلِكَ لِسَانَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " فَسِتٌّ مَنْ فَعَلَهُنَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " . قُلْنَا : وَمَا هُنَّ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا ، وَلَا يَزْنِي ، وَلَا يَأْتِي بِبُهْتَانٍ يَفْتَرِيهِ " . فَأَتَمَّ الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْأُولَى . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ وُثِّقُوا .
It is reported from him that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you of two things such that whoever does them will enter Paradise?" We said: "Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That a man guards that which is between his two jaws (that is, the tongue) and that which is between his two legs (that is, the private parts)." The narrator says: My companion and I went back, and we thought: "By Allah! This is very hard. How can a person manage to guard what is between his two jaws and speak only of good?" The narrator says: We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! You have mentioned two matters that are very hard. O Messenger of Allah! Who is able to keep control over his tongue?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are six deeds; whoever does them will enter Paradise." We asked: "What are they?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who does not associate anyone as a partner with Allah, does not commit fornication, and does not bring a false accusation." Then he recited the verse in full. (The narrator says:) This command was even harder than the first.

Abu Malik al-Ashja'i reports this account from his father: We used to sit with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we were all young. I never saw anyone who remained silent more than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When his Companions spoke and talked a great deal, he would smile.

وَعَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَسَارَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ مَعَهُمْ لَمْ يَتَقَدَّمْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ يَوْمَنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِكَ ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ وَلَا يُرِينَا اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ نَعْمَلُهَا بَعْدَكَ ؟ فَصَمَتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " . قُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " نِعْمَ الشَّيْءُ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَعَادَ بِالنَّاسِ أَمْلَكُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ " . قَالَ : الصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ ؟ قَالَ : " نِعْمَ الشَّيْءُ الصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ ، وَعَادَ بِالنَّاسِ أَمْلَكُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ " . فَذَكَرَ مُعَاذٌ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ يَعْلَمُهُ ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " وَعَادَ بِالنَّاسِ أَمْلَكُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ " . قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَادَ بِالنَّاسِ أَمْلَكُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى فِيهِ قَالَ : " الصَّمْتُ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ " . قَالَ : وَهَلْ نُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَتْ أَلْسِنَتُنَا ؟ ! فَضَرَبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى فَخِذِ مُعَاذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ !

Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out. He was travelling on his mount, and his Companions were with him; none of them would go ahead of him. Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I pray to Allah Almighty that He makes our day (of death) come before your day. But if something happens, though may Allah not show us that day, which deeds should we carry out after you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, then he said: "Jihad in the path of Allah." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you!" He said: "Jihad in the path of Allah is a good thing, but adopt with people the conduct over which (a person) has more control than this." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Fasting and giving charity?" He said: "Fasting and giving charity are also good things, but adopt with people the conduct over which (a person) has more control than this." (The narrator says:) Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned every good deed he knew of, and each time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: "Adopt with people the conduct over which (a person) has more control than this." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "'Adopt with people the conduct over which (a person) has more control than this' (what is meant by it?)" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to his mouth and said: "Remaining silent, except that (speaking of) good is a different matter." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Will we be taken to account for what our tongues speak?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) on the thigh and then said: "May your mother lose you!" He said whatever Allah willed him to say, and then he said: "People will be thrown face down into Hell on their noses only because of what their tongues have spoken. Whoever believes in Allah Almighty and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent from evil. Speak good and you will gain; remain silent from evil and you will be safe."

And whoever believes in Allah Almighty and the Last Day and bears witness that I am the Messenger of Allah, let him speak good so that he may gain, or remain silent from evil so that he may be safe."

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَوْصِنِي ، قَالَ : " عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ ; فَإِنَّهَا جِمَاعُ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ; فَإِنَّهَا رَهْبَانِيَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَتِلَاوَةِ كِتَابِهِ ; فَإِنَّهُ نُورٌ لَكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، وَذِكْرٌ لَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، وَاخَزُنْ لِسَانَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ ; فَإِنَّكَ بِذَلِكَ تَغْلِبُ الشَّيْطَانَ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الصَّغِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ ، وَهُوَ مُدَلِّسٌ ، وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ هُوَ وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Give me some advice." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to the taqwa (fear) of Allah Almighty, for it is the sum of all good. Hold fast to jihad in the path of Allah, for it is the monasticism of the Muslims. Hold fast to the remembrance of Allah Almighty and the recitation of His Book, for it will be a light for you on earth and a mention for you in heaven. Keep control over your tongue, except that good is a different matter, for by this you will overcome Satan."
