Commentary
An adjective made of the root of the verb is a proof that the person had this adjective, name or title, because of performing the act of the verb; i.e., only that person has the right to be called a Muslim if other Muslims are safe from
his tongue and hand. The tongue and hand are named exceptionally because the troubles and harms are mostly relevant to these two, and the believer is one above that, since it is not everyone that feels safe from his tongue and hand, that they trust.
