[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about an action in Islam that I will not have to seek anyone's help for." He said, "Fear Allah and be upright." I said, "Then what?" He pointed to his tongue and said.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا قَالَ «اتَّقِ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ فَأَشَارَ 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 اللَّهِ مُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَعْتَصِمُ بِهِ قَالَ «قُلْ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا تَخَوَّفُ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِلِسَانِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَذَا»  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, whose Islam is most virtuous?' He said: 'The one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4999)  

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»
