حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ أَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ النَّزَّالِ أَوِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «بَخٍ بَخٍ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ؟ أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذُرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ؟ فَأَمَّا رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ فَالْإِسْلَامُ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ سَلِمَ وَأَمَّا عَمُودُهُ فَالصَّلَاةُ وَأَمَّا ذِرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ فَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ؟ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُكَفِّرُ الْخَطِيئَةَ وَقِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ» وَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ} «أَوَلَا أُخْبِرُكُ بِأَمْلَكِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟» فَأَقْبَلَ رَاكِبٌ أَوْ رَكْبٌ فَحَسِبْتُ أَنْ يَشْغَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِّي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْلِكِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ؟» فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَنُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ مُعَاذُ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ»

✧ I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise.” He said, “Excellent, excellent! You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy: worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, establish the prescribed prayer, and pay the obligatory zakah. Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Shall I not guide you to the head of the matter, its pillar, and the peak of its hump? As for the head of the matter, it is Islam; whoever submits is safe. As for its pillar, it is prayer. As for the peak of its hump, it is jihad in the way of Allah. Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sin, and a servant’s standing in the depths of the night.” Then he recited this verse: {Their sides forsake their beds} (Q 32:16). “Shall I not inform you of what is more controlling than all that?” Then a rider or riders approached, and I thought they would distract the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from me, so I said, “O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Shall I not guide you to what is more controlling than all of that?” He pointed with his hand to his tongue. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?” He said, “May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! Do people get thrown into the Fire on their faces except by the harvests of their tongues?”
