Arabic text

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.

Commentary

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.
