2410. Sufyān bin 'Abdullāh Ath-Thaqafī said: I said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Inform me about a matter that I may hold fast to." He said: 'Say: My Lord is Allāh, then be steadfast.' I said: O Messenger of Allāh! What do you fear most for me?" So he took hold of his tongue and said: 'This.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. It has been reported through other routes from Sufyān bin 'Abdullāh Ath-Thaqafī.
٢٤١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَاعِزٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ: «قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، حَدِّثْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَعْتَصِمُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ: قُلْ رَبِّيَ اللهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَخْوَفُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَيَّ؟ فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِ نَفْسِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَذَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ.

The thing most fraught with risk for man is the misuse of the tongue. It, therefore, behooves man to studiously guard it against misuse.
