Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith says:
Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw-bonesمن يضمن لي ما بين لحييه
Sahih al-Bukhari 6474
Will I guarantee him Paradise?

Answer:
Yes,
Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (i.e. his tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him.من يضمن لي ما بين لحييه وما بين رجليه أضمن له الجنة
Sahih al-Bukhari 6474
meaning he guards his private parts and he guards his tongue. He guards his tongue, what is between his two jaws, meaning the tongue, and what is between his two legs, meaning the private parts.
(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6]
So whoever seeks beyond that, meaning other than
beyond that, then those are the transgressors -ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:7]
, that is, those who transgress the limits of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
