tirmidhi:2319Hannād > ʿAbdah > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr from my father from my father

"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."

“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."

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."
