[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "A servant may indeed speak a word pleasing to Allah ﷻ, paying it no attention, by which Allah ﷻ raises him degrees; and a servant may indeed speak a word that incurs Allah's displeasure, paying it no attention, by which he plunges into Hell."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ.»

The Prophet; said, "A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6478)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رُضْوَانِ اللهِ مَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالًا يُرْفَعُ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ لَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالًا يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a man may speak a word that pleases Allah, without realizing how far it will reach, and Allah will write His pleasure for him with it until the Day of Resurrection. And indeed, a man may speak a word that angers Allah, without realizing how far it will reach, and Allah will write His anger upon him with it until the Day of Resurrection." Alqamah said, "How many words have I avoided due to the hadith of Bilal ibn al-Harith!"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ ﷻ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ ﷻ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللهُ ﷻ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَكَانَ عَلْقَمَةُ يَقُولُ كَمْ مِنْ كَلَامٍ قَدْ مَنَعَنِيهِ حَدِيثُ بِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

Malik related to me from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Alqama from his father from Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man speaks what is pleasing to Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write for him His good pleasure for it until the day when he meets Him. And a man speaks what excites the wrath of Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write His wrath for him for it until the day when he meets Him."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلَمِةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ

Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abu Salih as- Samman informed him that Abu Hurayra said, "Truly a man utters words to which he attaches no importance, and by them he falls into the fire of Jahannam, and truly a man utters words to which he attaches no importance, and by them Allah raises him into the Garden."

قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلَمَةِ مَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَرْفَعُهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A person may utter a word without thinking about its consequences, which displeases Allah. As a result, Allah writes His displeasure for him until the Day of Resurrection. Similarly, a person may speak a word without realizing its reach, which pleases Allah. Consequently, Allah records His pleasure for him until the day he meets Him." (Narrated by Isma'il ibn Ja'far)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لَا يَدْرِي أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ لَا يَدْرِي أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ رِضَاهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ» «وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ»

[AI] He heard the Prophet (pbuh) saying, "Indeed, one of you may speak a word that pleases Allah, not realizing how far it will reach, and Allah will write His pleasure with that word for him until the day he meets Him. And indeed, one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, not realizing how far it will reach, and Allah will write His anger with that word against him until the day he meets Him." (Reported by Muslim)

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَمَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَمَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ» «وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ»

[AI] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Verily, one of you may speak a word that pleases Allah, thinking it will not reach the extent it has reached, so Allah records His pleasure with it until the day he meets Him, and indeed one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, not realizing its extent, so Allah records His anger with it until the day he meets Him."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَمَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَمَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

[AI] Al-Qa'nabi praised what was recited on Malik, and Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq informed us that Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Ziyad informed us that Ibn Abi Uwais narrated to us that Malik reported from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Alqamah from his father from Bilal ibn Al-Harith Al-Muzani that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a person may speak a word from the pleasure of Allah, not realizing its significance, and Allah will record His pleasure for him with it until the day he meets Him. And indeed, a person may speak a word of Allah's anger, not realizing its significance, and Allah will record His anger for him with it until the day he meets Him."

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَى مَالِكٍ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, one of you may speak a word that pleases Allah, not realizing how far it reaches, and Allah will write for him His pleasure until the day he meets Him. And indeed, one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, not realizing how far it reaches, and Allah will write for him His anger until the day he meets Him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا تَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا تَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a person may utter a word that angers Allah, not realizing the extent to which it has reached, and as a result, his anger will be recorded against him until the Day of Judgment. Similarly, a person may utter a word that pleases Allah, not realizing the extent to which it has reached, and as a result, his pleasure will be recorded for him until the day he meets Him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ لَا يَرَى أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبَ لَهُ سَخَطُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ لَا يَرَى أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبَ لَهُ رِضْوَانُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهٌ»

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, a person may speak a word that pleases Allah without realizing its extent, and Allah will write for him His pleasure with it until the day he meets Him. And indeed, a person may speak a word that angers Allah without realizing its extent, and Allah will write His anger with it upon him until the day he meets Him."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا تَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللهُ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, a man may speak a word that angers Allah without realizing its severity, so Allah writes His anger against him until the day they meet. And indeed, a man may speak a word that pleases Allah without realizing its significance, so Allah writes His satisfaction with him until the day they meet."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ لَا يَدْرِي مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ لَا يَدْرِي مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضَاهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, a person speaks a word of goodness without realizing its significance, and Allah writes for him His pleasure with it until the day he meets Him. And indeed, a person speaks a word of evil without realizing its significance, and Allah writes against him with it His displeasure until the day he meets Him."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَهَا يَكْتُبُ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَهَا يَكْتُبُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

The Prophet; said, "A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6478)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ لَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالًا يَرْفَعُ اللهُ بِهَا لَهُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ لَا يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالًا يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ

[AI] His grandfather said to him, "O Fulan, why do you enter among these people and make them laugh?" For I heard Bilal ibn Al-Harith Al-Muzani, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, narrating that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a servant speaks a word that pleases Allah, thinking that it may not reach what it has reached, and Allah is pleased with it on his behalf until the day he meets Him. And indeed, a servant speaks a word that angers Allah, thinking that it may not reach what it has reached, and Allah is angered by it until the day he meets Him.

لَهُ جَدِّي وَيْحَكَ يَا فُلَانُ لِمَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ فَتُضْحِكَهُمْ؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَرْضَى اللهُ بِهَا عَنْهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَسْخَطُ اللهُ بِهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a person may speak a word that brings about the pleasure of Allah, thinking that it will not reach the level of what it actually attains, but Allah will write His pleasure for him with that word until the day he meets Him. And indeed, a person may speak a word that brings about the anger of Allah, thinking that it will not reach the level of what it actually attains, but Allah will write His anger upon him with that word until the Day of Resurrection." Alqamah said, "How many words have been prohibited for me due to the hadith of Bilal bin Al-Harith!"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ ﷻ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا تَبْلُغُ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ ﷻ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» قَالَ فَكَانَ عَلْقَمَةُ يَقُولُ كَمْ مِنْ كَلَامٍ قَدْ مَنَعَنِيهِ حَدِيثُ بِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

"إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بالْكلِمَةِ مِن رِضْوَانِ الله ﷻ، مَا يَظُنُّ أنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ الله ﷻ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوانَه إِلى يَوْم الْقِيَامَةِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجلَ ليَتَكَلَّمُ بالكلمةِ مِنْ سخط الله مَا يَظُنُّ أنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فيكْتُبُ الله عَلَيهِ بِها سَخَطَه إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ".

"إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ ليتكَلَّمُ بالْكَلِمَةِ - (لا يَدْرِي) مَا بَلغتْ مِن رِضْوَان الله فَيُوجِبُ الله لَهُ بَها الْجَنَّةَ إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ ليتكَلمُ بالْكَلِمَةِ لا يَدْرِي مَا بَلَغَتْ مِن سَخَطِ الله فَيُوجِبُ الله لَهُ بها النَّارَ إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ".

The Prophet; said, "A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6478)

"إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بالْكَلِمَة من رِضْوَان الله لَا يُلْقِى لَها بالًا يَرْفَعُهُ اللهُ بهَا دَرَجات، وَإنِّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكلَّمُ بالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سُخطِ اللهِ لَا يُلقى لَها بَالًا يَهْوى بهَا في جَهَنَّم".
