Explanation of the Hadith: The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe

The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.

The questioner:
This questioner, Ahmad, says: I hope the Honorable Shaykh will shed light on the hadith , and how benefit is derived from this hadith. May Allah reward you both.

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, Islam is submission to Allah through tawhid (the oneness of Allah), obedience to Him, and disavowal of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and its people. This is the definition of Islam. It has five pillars, which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained by saying: "Islam is that you testify that there is no god ." It has many obligatory acts and recommended practices, both in deeds and words, and each of them is part of Islam and completes it. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: Among these is this hadith, in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . In this hadith, it is obligatory for the Muslim to restrain his tongue from people, so that he does not harm them with his tongue through cursing, insulting, backbiting, talebearing, or lying. And the Muslims are safe from his hand, meaning he does not transgress against them by killing, beating, or any other form of physical aggression. This is the Muslim. Then he said (peace and blessings be upon him): . Hijrah (migration) in its original sense is moving from a land of disbelief to a land of Islam to escape for the sake of the religion. It is derived from the word "hijr," which means leaving. Allah the Exalted said: "And leave the poetry," and "poetry" here refers to idols, and leaving them means abandoning them. So "hijr" in its original sense is leaving. It is intended here to mean moving from a land of shirk to a land of Islam, because this also contains the meaning of leaving, as it is leaving the land of disbelief. Hijrah is not limited to moving from a land of shirk to a land of Islam; rather, it includes leaving everything that Allah has forbidden. And whatever Allah has forbidden, leaving it is hijr and hijrah. The one who migrates is the one who leaves what Allah has forbidden, meaning he moves from what Allah has forbidden to what Allah has commanded. He moves from sins, crimes, and evil deeds to what Allah has commanded of obedience and nearness to Him. Yes.
