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 enjoins sadaqah (almsgiving) 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)
