Safeguarding One’s Tongue is the  Foundation of Every Good

Concerning the Hadīth of the Prophet :

ألا أخبرك بملاك ذلك كله؟ قلت: بلى، فأخذ ﷺ بلسانه
 فقال: كف عليك هذا

Shall I not inform you of that which is inclusive of all this? I (the narrator) said: ‘Of course.’ He grabbed hold of his tongue and said: Restrain this!

Al-Hāfidh Ibn Rajab said:

This indicates that restraining the tongue, controlling it, and safeguarding it is the foundation of every good. And that he who controls his tongue has mastery over all his affairs, has them set in order and under control.
