[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about Islam that I can ask no one but you about." He said, "Say, 'I believe in Allah,' and then be steadfast."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُلْ لِي فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَوْلًا لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا غَيْرَكَ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ
[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, inform me of a matter in Islam that I will not ask anyone about after you." He (the Prophet) said, "Say, 'I believe in Allah,' and then be steadfast." He (the questioner) said, "O Messenger of Allah, what should I fear?" He (the Prophet) said, "Pointing to his tongue, said: Control this."
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا بَعْدَكَ قَالَ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَيَّ شَيْءٍ أَتَّقِي؟ قَالَ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ
“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, tell me of something that I can adhere to.’ He said: ‘Say: “Allah is my Lord,” then stand straight (adhere steadfastly to Islam).’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is the thing that you fear most for me?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of his own tongue, then he said: ‘This.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3972)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَعْتَصِمُ بِهِ قَالَ قُلْ رَبِّيَ اللهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَكْبَرُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِلِسَانِ نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا قَالَ يَزِيدُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ بِطَرْفِ لِسَانِ نَفْسِهِ
I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Inform me about a matter that I may hold fast to." He said: 'Say: My Lord is Allah, then be steadfast.' I said: "O Messenger of Allah! What do you fear most for me?" So he took hold of his tongue and said: 'This.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2410)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَعْتَصِمُ بِهِ قَالَ قُلْ رَبِّيَ اللهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَخْوَفُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِ نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا
