Question:
Abu Ahmad says: Honorable Shaykh, many people neglect certain matters concerning their lives. I read in a hadith, to the effect that when the servant wakes up, the limbs remind the person, saying to him:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2407Hasan (Darussalam).
Answer:
Yes, this is a valid hadith. There is no day but that the limbs seek forgiveness for the tongue, meaning they warn him, saying to him: Fear Allah. They warn him and command him to fear Allah, saying: We are with you; if you are upright, we are upright, and if you go astray, we go astray. This indicates the importance of this tongue and what moves it. A person must guard his tongue and not move it or speak except with what brings immediate worldly benefit or deferred hereafter benefit. This is the Muslim who guards his tongue. Yes.
