The Prohibition of Backbiting and the Commandment of Guarding one's
Tongue
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
And backbite not one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it
(so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most
Merciful.
'' (49:12)
"
And follow not (O man, i.e., say not or do not or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily,
the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allah).
'' (17:36)
"
Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)
.'' (50:18)

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH):
"
Who is the most excellent among the Muslims?'' He said, "One from whose tongue and hands the other Muslims
are secure

Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Whosoever
gives me a guarantee to safeguard what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I shall guarantee him
Jannah.
''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
What is between the jaws and what is between the legs refers to the tongue and the sexual organs,
respectively. The Prophet (PBUH) has given the assurance of Jannah to every Muslim who protects these two parts
of the body. Protection here means their use permitted by the Islamic Shari`ah. They should be guarded against
every act that is prohibited by the Shari`ah.
