ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ حِفْظِ لِسَانِهِ، لِأَنَّ تَعَاهُدَ اللِّسَانِ أَوَّلُ مَطِيَّةِ الْعُبَّادِ
“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 حَدِّثْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَعْتَصِمُ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قُلْ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَيَّ؟ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِلِسَانِ نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَذَا» مَاعِزُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَهُ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ وَهُوَ مُتْقِنٌ
