Continuation of the chapter: "Good character if they understand" — Explanation of the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)

The Shaykh : As for what follows:
For the best of speech is the speech of Allah, the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
Our previous lesson reached the eighty-ninth hadith after the two hundred from Chapter 138, which is:
Chapter: "Good character if they understand".
This hadith, with which we begin our lesson for this day, has a good chain of narration. The author narrates it from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
This hadith clarifies that the Messenger (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him), the gatherer of good and evil, said to his companions, asking them, because the method of question and answer allows the answer to settle in the hearts of the listeners. He said to his companions: They answered him by saying: "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then he answered them by saying: As for the private parts, it is an euphemism for unlawful sexual intercourse, and that does not require explanation or clarification. As for the mouth, the intended meaning is many matters of sins, including backbiting, talebearing, insults and cursing, and speech that a person is not permitted to utter regarding his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He), such as swearing by other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
This side of the two mentioned is the most important, and it is what the Muslim must stop at and reflect upon. As for the first side, which is the private parts, its aspect is limited and is guaranteed by most Muslims.
As for the other side, which is the mouth, few people are saved from it due to the abundance of sins that the human mouth goes through, as we mentioned earlier. Therefore, it came in some authentic hadiths that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The two jaws means the two jawbones, and this is an euphemism for a person to guard his mouth and tongue from descending into those sins that do not please Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Reality bears witness that the most common trial for the Muslim is his tongue, and therefore it was said in old times:
"Guard your tongue, O human being *** For it will bite you, for it is a serpent".
So the Messenger (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) mentioned in this hadith the summaries of evil and urged the Muslims to refrain from them, namely guarding the private parts and guarding what comes out of a person from the mouth.
Then he mentioned the summaries of good by his saying and his question to them: Naturally, their answer was the same as their previous saying: "Allah and His Messenger know best" Then he answered them by saying: The point of this hadith in this chapter is the last sentence of it, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): In the last part of the hadith, our Prophet (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) mentions that the most frequent and strongest causes of entering Paradise are two matters. The first matter is the fear of Allah.
