حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ , وَلَمْ يَرْفَعُوهُ .
With this chain, a similar hadith is narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri as a mawquf (stopped) narration, and this narration is more authentic than the narration of Muhammad bin Musa. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
We know this hadith only from the narration of Hammad bin Zayd. Several narrators have narrated this hadith from Hammad bin Zayd, but all these narrations are non-marfu' (not attributed to the Prophet).

حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الصَّهْبَاءِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ : أَحْسِبُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
With this chain, a similar hadith is narrated from Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), but Salih bin Abdullah narrated it with doubt as to whether Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated it as a marfu' (attributed) report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and then he narrated the entire hadith in the same manner.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الصَّهْبَاءِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَفَعَهُ , قَالَ : " إِذَا أَصْبَحَ ابْنُ آدَمَ , فَإِنَّ الْأَعْضَاءَ كُلَّهَا تُكَفِّرُ اللِّسَانَ ، فَتَقُولُ : اتَّقِ اللَّهَ فِينَا فَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ بِكَ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَمْتَ اسْتَقَمْنَا وَإِنِ اعْوَجَجْتَ اعْوَجَجْنَا " .
´Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated (that the Prophet s.a.w) said:` "When the son of Adam wakes up in the morning, all of his body parts bow to the tongue and say: 'Fear Allah regarding us, we are only part of you. If you are straight we are straight and if you are crooked we are crooked."
Brief Explanation
1؎: In this hadith, the tongue is described as the center of the rectification of all the limbs, whereas from other ahadith it is understood that the heart is the center of all of them. The reconciliation is that the tongue holds the position of being the interpreter of the body; therefore, metaphorically, it has been called the center of all the limbs, otherwise, the true center is the heart, not the tongue.
