*⭐ HADITH AND COMMENTARY ⭐*
Abu Hurairah (RADIYALLAAHU ANHU) related:
The Prophet (SALLALLAAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM) was asked about the deed which will be foremost to lead a man to Jannah. He replied, "Fear of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) and the good conduct.''
Then he was asked about indulgence which will admit a man to Hell (Fire) and he answered, "The tongue and the genitals.''
*[At-Tirmidhi].*
*Commentary:*
This is a very comprehensive Hadith. Fear of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) really links up a man to HIM, and moral refinement prevents him from falling short of his duties to people. To be sure, adherence to this two-fold practice will cause the entry of a lot of people to Jannah.
Many a man, on the other hand, has a long, sharp and dangerous tongue and this causes him to pour out heretic utterances and indulge in backbiting, slandering and abusive and nonsensical talk. All this activity leads to Hell. As for genitals, an unwary and unrestrained attitude incites one to indulge in immoral pursuits. In both these cases countless people will be led into Hell.
For those reasons it is imperative for everybody to develop Taqwa (consciousness of ALLAAH / fear of ALLAAH) and refined behaviour and shun the wickedness of tongue and genitals so that his life in the Hereafter may not be ruined.
And ALLAAH knows best.
