حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ النَّزَّالِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ
أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ خَلِيًّا قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ. قَالَ: بَخٍ، لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَهُوَ يَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، تُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، وَتَلْقَى اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا. أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذُرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ ؟ أَمَّا رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ فَالْإِسْلَامُ، فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ سَلِمَ، وَأَمَّا عَمُودُهُ فَالصَّلَاةُ، وَأَمَّا ذُرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ فَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ. أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ ؟ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ وَقِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ يُكَفِّرُ الْخَطَايَا وَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ، أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْلَكِ ذَلِكَ لَكَ كُلِّهِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ، قَالَ: فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَشْغَلُوا عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَوْلُكَ أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْلَكِ ذَلِكَ لَكَ كُلِّهِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنَّا لَنُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ؟ قَالَ: ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ مُعَاذُ، وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ ؟

✧ We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the expedition of Tabuk, and when I saw him alone, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise." He said: "Excellent! You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy. You establish the prescribed prayer, give the obligatory zakah, and meet Allah [Mighty and Majestic] without associating anything with Him. Shall I not tell you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and the peak of its hump? The head of the matter is Islam: whoever submits is safe. Its pillar is prayer, and the peak of its hump is striving in the path of Allah. Shall I not tell you of the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity and a servant's standing in the depths of the night expiate sins," and he recited this verse: "Their sides forsake their beds, calling upon their Lord in fear and in hope, and from what We have provided them they spend." Then he said: "Shall I not tell you of what gives you mastery over all of that?" He said: Then a group of people approached, and I feared they would distract the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from me—Shu'bah said: "or words to that effect." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about your saying: 'Shall I not tell you of what gives you mastery over all of that?'" He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed with his hand to his tongue. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, will we be taken to account for what we say?" He said: "May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! And do people ever get thrown on their faces into Hell except by the harvests of their tongues?"

يرويه الحكم بن عتيبة واختلف عنه فرواه شعبة عن الحكم عن عروة ابن النزال أو النزال بن عروة عن معاذ وقال غندر وحجاج عن شعبة عن الحكم قال وحدثني به أيضا ميمون بن أبي شبيب عن معاذ وكذلك رواه الأعمش وفطر بن خليفة عن الحكم عن ميمون بن أبي شبيب عن معاذ وكذلك قال شيبان وأبو الأحوص عن منصور عن الحكم ورواه زبيد عن الحكم مرسلا عن معاذ بن جبل واختلف عن الأعمش فرواه عبيدة بن حميد عن الأعمش عن الحكم وحده عن ميمون عن معاذ وخالفه عبد الله بن إدريس وأبو إسحاق الفزاري فروياه عن الأعمش عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت عن ميمون بن أبي شبيب ورواه جرير بن عبد الحميد عن الأعمش عن الحكم وحبيب عن ميمون عن معاذ فصح القولان عن الأعمش وكذلك رواه فطر بن خليفة عن الحكم وحبيب أيضا ورواه منصور واختلف عنه فقال شيبان عن منصور عن الحكم عن ميمون بن أبي شبيب عن معاذ وقال أبو الأحوص عن منصور عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت وقيل عن شيبان عن منصور عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت أيضا وكذلك رواه حماد بن شعيب عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت عن ميمون عن معاذ وهو صحيح من حديث الحكم وحبيب عن ميمون
machine translationAl-Ḥakam b. ʿUtaybah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Shuʿbah narrated it from al-Ḥakam, from ʿUrwah b. al-Nazzāl or al-Nazzāl b. ʿUrwah, from Muʿādh. Ghundar and Ḥajjāj said, from Shuʿbah, from al-Ḥakam, who said: "Maymūn b. Abī Shabīb also narrated it to me, from Muʿādh." Likewise al-Aʿmash and Fiṭr b. Khalīfah narrated it from al-Ḥakam, from Maymūn b. Abī Shabīb, from Muʿādh. Likewise Shaybān and Abū al-Aḥwaṣ said, from Manṣūr, from al-Ḥakam. Zubayd narrated it from al-Ḥakam as a mursal report from Muʿādh b. Jabal. There is disagreement about al-Aʿmash: ʿUbaydah b. Ḥumayd narrated it from al-Aʿmash, from al-Ḥakam alone, from Maymūn, from Muʿādh. ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs and Abū Isḥāq al-Fazārī disagreed with him, and narrated it from al-Aʿmash, from Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit, from Maymūn b. Abī Shabīb. Jarīr b. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd narrated it from al-Aʿmash, from al-Ḥakam and Ḥabīb, from Maymūn, from Muʿādh. So both accounts from al-Aʿmash are sound. Likewise Fiṭr b. Khalīfah narrated it from al-Ḥakam and also Ḥabīb. Manṣūr also narrated it, and there is disagreement about him: Shaybān said, from Manṣūr, from al-Ḥakam, from Maymūn b. Abī Shabīb, from Muʿādh; Abū al-Aḥwaṣ said, from Manṣūr, from Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit; and it is also said, from Shaybān, from Manṣūr, from Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit. Likewise Ḥammād b. Shuʿayb narrated it from Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit, from Maymūn, from Muʿādh. It is sound as a hadith of al-Ḥakam and Ḥabīb, from Maymūn.
