2408. Sahl bin Sa'd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever guarantees for me what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I shall guarantee Paradise for him." (Saḥīh) There are narrations about this topic from Abū Hurairah and Ibn 'Abbās. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Saḥīh Gharīb [as a narration of Sahl bin Sa'd].
٢٤٠٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ لِي مَا بَيْنَ لَحْيَيْهِ وَمَا بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ أَتَوَكَّلْ لَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ.

Of all the body-parts of man, with the exception of the tongue, whose wayward behaviour spells great disaster for him and whose guarding is the paramount need of him is his place of shame. Hence it is that the Prophet ﷺ has declared that anyone who jealously guards his place of shame he ﷺ, on Allāh's behalf, will guarantee his place in Paradise.
