Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with
him) said:
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,”When the
son of Adam gets up in the morning, all the limbs humble themselves before the
tongue and say:
‘Fear Allah for our sake because we are with
you: (i.e., we will be rewarded or punished as a result of what you do) if you
are straight, we will be straight; and if you are crooked, we will become
crooked.”
[At-Tirmidhi]
Imam an-Nawawi commented: This Hadith shows
the importance of guarding one’s tongue against that which is prohibited. Even
the slightest carelessness on the part of the tongue can make all the organs
suffer for it. Crookedness of the tongue means the careless use of the tongue
which lands the whole body in trouble; and keeping the tongue straight means keeping oneself
safe from all kinds of troubles and ordeals.
