“And when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with ‘Salamaa’ (peaceful words of gentleness).” (Qur’an, 25:63) “And speak nicely to people.” (Qur’an, 2:83) Some people asked Allahs Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam), Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)? He replied, One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands.Narrated by Abu Musa Transmitted by Sahih Bukhari Suf’yan ibn ‘Abdullah as-Sakafi asked the Prophet: What is most dangerous for me? The Messenger of the Most High answered: This- and pointed at his tongue. The Prophet said: البخاري: مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ Whoever believes in Allah and in the last day, let him never annoy his neighbor. And whoever believes in Allah and in the last day, let him generously honor his guest. And whoever believes in Allah and in the last day, let him speak that which is good or else keep quiet. الترمذي: ... أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَلَاكِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِهِ قَالَ كُفَّ عَلَيْكَ هَذَا فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّا لَمُؤَاخَذُونَ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ فَقَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ أَوْ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ [After describing all of the basics of Islam such as the five pillars, jihad, etc., the Prophet (sas) continued:] ... Should I not inform you of that which eenables and strengthens all of that? I said, Why yes, O Prophet of Allah! He (sas) then took hold of his tongueand said, Restrain this. I said, Are we then held accountable for what we [merely] talk about? He (sas) said, May your mother be bereaved O Muadh! And, are the people thrown on their faces into the fire for any reason other than the fruits of their tongues? The Prophet said: البخاري: إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ لَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالًا يَرْفَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالًا يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ A slave will speak a word of that which pleases Allah without attaching any importance to it but with which Allah raises him many levels. And a slave will speak a word of that which Allah hates without attaching any importance to it but by which he tumbles down into hell-fire.
