حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَأَصْبَحْتُ يَوْمًا قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ. قَالَ: لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، تَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ، وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ ؟ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ، وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ يَعْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِرَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذُرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ الْإِسْلَامُ وَعَمُودُهُ الصَّلَاةُ، وَذُرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ الْجِهَادُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمِلَاكِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ. فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَالَ: كُفَّ عَلَيْكَ هَذَا. فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنَّا لَمُؤَاخَذُونَ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ، وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ: عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ

✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and one morning I found myself close to him while we were traveling. I said, 'O Prophet of God, inform me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise and distance me from the Fire.' He said, 'You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one for whom God makes it easy. Worship God and do not associate anything with Him, establish the prayer, give the zakat, fast Ramadan, and perform the Hajj to the House.' Then he said, 'Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sin, and a man's prayer in the depth of the night.' Then he recited: 'Their sides forsake their beds...' until he reached '...they do.' Then he said, 'Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and its highest peak?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of God.' He said, 'The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is the prayer, and its highest peak is jihad.' Then he said, 'Shall I not inform you of what controls all of that?' I said to him, 'Yes, O Prophet of God.' He took hold of his tongue and said, 'Restrain this.' I said, 'O Messenger of God, will we be held accountable for what we say?' He said, 'May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! Is there anything that throws people into the Fire on their faces—or he said: on their nostrils—except the harvests of their tongues?'
