[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.»

"I heard Bilal bin Al-Harith Al Muzani, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Indeed one of you says a statement pleasing to Allah, not realizing that you have achieved what you have achieved. Then for it, Allah writes for him His pleasure until the Day of Meeting Him. And one of you says a statement angering Allah, not realizing that you have achieved what you have achieved. Then for it, Allah writes for him His anger until the Day of Meeting with Him."

سَمِعْتُ بِلاَلَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ۔»

“You have kinship and rights, and I see you entering upon these rulers and speaking to them as Allah wills you should speak. But i heard Bilal bin Harith Al-Muzani, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘One of you may speak a word that pleases Allah, and not know how far it reaches, but Allah will record for him as pleasure, until the Day of Resurrection due to that word. And one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, and not know how far it reaches, but Allah will record against him his anger, until the Day he meets Him due to that word.” 'Alqamah said: "So look, woe to you, at what you say and what you speak about, for there is something that I wanted to say but I refrained because of what I heard from Bilal bin Harith."

لَهُ عَلْقَمَةُ إِنَّ لَكَ رَحِمًا وَإِنَّ لَكَ حَقًّا وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ الأُمَرَاءِ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَهُمْ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ بِلاَلَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ ﷻ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ فَانْظُرْ وَيْحَكَ مَاذَا تَقُولُ وَمَاذَا تَكَلَّمُ بِهِ فَرُبَّ كَلاَمٍ قَدْ مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ بِلاَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

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

[AI] There was a lazy man who used to enter upon the rulers and make them laugh. So my grandfather said to him, "Woe to you, O so-and-so! Why do you enter upon them and make them laugh? I have heard Bilal ibn Al-Harith Al-Muzani, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrate that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, a servant may speak a word that pleases Allah, thinking it will not reach what it reached, and Allah is pleased with it for him until the Day of Resurrection. And indeed, a servant may speak a word that angers Allah, thinking it will not reach what it reached, and Allah is angered by it until the day he meets Him.'"

كَانَ رَجُلٌ بَطَّالٌ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى الْأُمَرَاءِ فَيُضْحِكُهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ جَدِّي وَيْحَكَ يَا فُلَانُ لِمَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ وَتُضْحِكُهُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَرْضَى اللَّهُ بِهَا عَنْهُ إلى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَسْخَطُ اللَّهُ بِهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ»

[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»

A man with honor passed by him while he was in the city market and greeted him. Alqamah said to him, "O so-and-so, you have a heart and a right. I have seen you enter upon these princes and speak to them as Allah wills you to speak. I have heard Bilal ibn Al-Harith Al-Muzani, the companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Verily, one of you speaks a word from Allah's pleasure, not realizing how far it reaches, but Allah writes His Pleasure therewith until the Day he shall meet Him. And verily, one of you speaks a word from Allah's displeasure, not realizing how far it reaches, but Allah writes His displeasure therewith until the Day he shall meet Him.'" Alqamah said, "Woe to you! Consider what you say and what you speak. Much of what I have heard from Bilal ibn Al-Harith has prevented me from what you are saying. Malik ibn Anas also shortened the narration of this Hadith from Muhammad ibn Amr, and did not mention Alqamah ibn Waqqas."

مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ لَهُ شَرَفٌ وَهُوَ بِسُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلْقَمَةُ يَا فُلَانُ إِنَّ لَكَ رَحِمًا وَلَكَ حَقًّا وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَتَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَهُمْ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكَلَّمَ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيُكْتَبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ» قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ وَيْحَكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَقُولُ وَمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ؟ فَرُبَّ كَلَامٍ مَنَعَنِي مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ «قَصَرَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ بِرِوَايَةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ»

[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»

(Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3969)

مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَهُ شَرَفٌ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بِسُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ يَا فُلَانُ إِنَّ لَكَ حُرْمَةً وَإِنَّ لَكَ حَقًّا وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَهُمْ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»

[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] We were sitting with him in the market when a man from the city passed by him. He had honor, so he said to him, "O nephew of mine, you have a right, and indeed you enter upon these princes and speak in front of them. And I have heard Bilal ibn al-Harith, the companion of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), saying, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying, 'Indeed, a servant speaks a word, and does not pay attention to it wherever it reaches, so Allah writes for him His pleasure with it until the Day of Resurrection. And indeed, a servant speaks a word, and does not pay attention to it wherever it reaches, so Allah writes His displeasure with it until the day he meets Him.' So look, O nephew of mine, at what you say and what you speak, for many words that I have heard from Bilal ibn al-Harith have prevented me."

كُنَّا مَعَهُ جُلُوسًا فِي السُّوقِ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَهُ شَرَفٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّ لَكَ حَقًّا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُمَرَاءِ وَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَهُمْ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ وَلَا يَرَاهَا بَلَغَتْ حَيْثُ بَلَغَتْ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا رِضَاهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ لَا يَرَاهَا بَلَغَتْ حَيْثُ بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ» فَانْظُرْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَا تَقُولُ وَمَا تَكَلَّمُ فَرُبَّ كَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ قَدْ مَنَعَنِي مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

عَن النَّبِيّ ﷺ قال إن العبد ليتكلم بالكمة من رضوان الله لا يلقي لها بالا يرفعه الله بها درجات وَإن العبد ليتكلم بالكلمة من سخط الله لا يلقي لها بالا يهوي بها في جهنم

[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] Al-Qa'nabi narrated from Malik and Bakr ibn Sahl narrated from Abdullah ibn Yusuf that Malik narrated from Abu Yazid al-Qaratisi who narrated from Abdullah ibn Abi al-Hakam who narrated from Malik ibn Anas who narrated from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Alqamah who narrated from his father that Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, a person will speak a word that pleases Allah without realizing the extent of its reach, so Allah will record His pleasure for him until the day he meets Him. And verily, a person will speak a word that angers Allah without realizing the extent of its reach, so Allah will record His anger for him until the day he meets Him." Abu al-Qasim said, "Malik and Muhammad ibn Ajlan are dropped from the chain of narration due to the inclusion of Alqamah ibn Waqqas, the grandfather of Muhammad ibn Amr. Hammad ibn Salamah narrated it and his narration contradicts that of others."

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَنَا مَالِكٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ أَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ مَا كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللهُ لَهُ رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ مَا كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ يَكْتُبُ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ» قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ «أَسْقَطَ مَالِكٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ مِنَ الْإِسْنَادِ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ جَدَّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فَخَالَفَ النَّاسَ فِيهِ»

[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] Indeed, I have seen you entering among these princes and enveloping them, so see what you are explaining to them. For I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say: "Indeed, a man may speak a word of goodness without knowing its weight, and Allah writes his satisfaction with it until the day he meets Him. And indeed, a man may speak a word of evil without knowing its weight, and Allah writes His displeasure with him until the day he meets Him." So Alqamah used to say: "Many conversations have taken place between him and me that I have not heard from Bilal."

لَهُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُمَرَاءِ وَتَغْشَاهُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تُحَاضِرُهُمْ بِهِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَهَا يَكْتُبُ اللهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغَهَا يَكْتُبُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ فَكَانَ عَلْقَمَةُ يَقُولُ رُبَّ حَدِيثٍ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ بِلَالٍ

[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 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".
