Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): (… And what is it that most often enters the Fire? He said: The two hollows, the mouth and the private parts)

The Shaykh : The questioner said: .
This is an example of the clarity and eloquence of the Messenger (peace be upon him), where he gave a counterpart to the answer to the question about what most often enters Paradise, which is the fear of Allah and good character: he said that what most often enters the Fire is the mouth and the private parts. This is a clear meaning, because the mouth, being hollow, is used by people to speak a great deal, and a very great deal. All of a person's speech is subject to reckoning, except for enjoining good and forbidding evil. Therefore, it came in the authentic hadith: . In this hadith, there is an exhortation to two things. The first is guarding the private parts, which has saved many Muslim men and women from its violation, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has saved them. But the other matter, the mouth, is what Muslims are most often afflicted with, this hollow, this mouth, because we do not pay much attention to much of what we say, nor do we care or think, even though one of us may speak a word whose consequence is as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadith: , , meaning he does not care about it, thinking it is an easy word with no danger before Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). But the reality is that it causes him to plunge into the Fire for seventy autumns, meaning seventy years. He plunges headfirst into the Fire, into Hell, because he spoke that word without paying it any attention, without caring about it at all. Therefore, the Messenger (peace be upon him) was sitting one day with Aisha beside him when a person or a woman of short stature passed by. What our mother Aisha did was say, as people do today: "Look, look, how short she is." She did not speak, but she gestured. So he (peace be upon him) said: , meaning: Are you mocking this Muslim woman for her shortness? This is a creation from the creation of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). So are you criticizing the Creator or the created? If you criticize the created, no created being wants a defect for itself. If, for example, there is shortness… their distance from… that they are held accountable for the decree because they are held accountable for the decree, because they do not imagine that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is the One who decreed this decree. They criticized, cursed, or insulted the decree, so they are held accountable for the Lord of the decree. Therefore, this is a type of disbelief, either verbal disbelief, which is a sin and open sinfulness, or creedal disbelief, which is apostasy from the religion, and may Allah protect us from it. Therefore, the Messenger (peace be upon him) admonished his Ummah at the end of this hadith when he answered that what most often enters the Fire is only the two hollows, the mouth and the private parts, because it is obligatory for the Muslim to guard his tongue and to always and forever remember his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , , because if he does not speak good, his speech is either something for which he will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection, or he gains no benefit from it, at least if it is at least permissible, , meaning he remains silent. Therefore, they said regarding trials: "If speech is silver, then silence is gold." This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. We bear witness that there is no deity but You. We seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
