With the Hadith - Verily, a person speaks a word without thinking about it
We greet you all, dear listeners, everywhere, in a new episode of your program with the Hadith, and we begin with the best greeting, which is peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
Narrated Abu Huraira, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: Verily, a person speaks a word pleasing to Allah without thinking about it, and Allah raises him in status because of it. And verily, a person speaks a word displeasing to Allah without thinking about it, and he falls into Hell because of it.
It came in Fath al-Bari with the explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari
His saying (without thinking about it) means that he does not contemplate it in his mind, nor does he think about its consequences, nor does he think that it will affect anything, and it is like His saying, may He be exalted: (And you thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allah, tremendous).
His saying (he falls): Al-Qadi Iyad said: The meaning is that he falls into it.
Dear listeners:
One of the lessons learned from this hadith is that a Muslim should weigh his words before they are weighed for him, and only say what is good and pleasant. The noble verses and hadiths have combined in this regard:
Allah the Almighty said: ((And they were guided to good speech))
And Allah Almighty said: - ((And speak to people good words))
And He, glory be to Him, said: - ((And tell My servants to say that which is best))
And He, glory be to Him, said: - ((To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it))
And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ((Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date. If you cannot find that, then with a good word))
And he said: ((Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent))
And he said: ((Control your tongue))
And he said: ((And what causes people to be thrown into Hellfire on their faces or on their nostrils except the harvests of their tongues?))
And on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, may God be pleased with them, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: ((In Paradise there is a room whose outside can be seen from its inside, and its inside from its outside)) Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari said: Who is it for, O Messenger of God? He said: "For those who speak well, feed the poor, and spend the night while people are asleep."
And on the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud, may God be pleased with him, who said: (By God, besides whom there is no god, there is nothing more deserving of a long imprisonment than my tongue)
And he used to say (O tongue, say good and you will gain, and be silent about evil before you regret it)
It is very strange, dear listeners, for someone to utter obscene words without thinking about them.
It is very strange for a Muslim to declare his Muslim brother an infidel without thinking about his words.
It is very strange for someone to lie about Islamic groups and attribute to them what they did not say without thinking about what he is broadcasting.
It is very strange for someone to cause discord among people
It is very strange for every backbiter and slanderer.
Beware, beware, dear listeners, of the wrath of the Almighty, the Compeller, who says, glory be to Him: (Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]).
Dear listeners, until we meet you with another Prophetic hadith, we leave you in God’s care, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you
