أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْفَتْحِ هِلَالُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، أنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِشْكَابَ، نا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، نا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ سَلَامٍ، عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ؟ " قَالَ: فَسَكَتُوا، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ، قَالَ: " هُوَ حِفْظُ اللِّسَانِ "
