"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 قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَهَكَذَا رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو نَحْوَ هَذَا قَالُوا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ بِلاَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَرَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَالِكٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بِلاَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ  

“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  

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»  

[Machine] 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»
