Sunan Ibn Majah 4246 (Book 37, Hadith 147) #33602
The Paths to Paradise and Hell

SUMMARY: Piety and good manners are the most important factors that lead to Paradise, while the mouth and private part are the two hollow ones that lead to Hell.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Prophet was asked: 'What most admits people to Paradise?’ He said: 'Piety and good manners.’ And he was asked: 'What most leads people to Hell?’ He said: 'The two hollow ones: The mouth and the private part.’"
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَعَمِّهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ ‏:‏ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏:‏ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ التَّقْوَى وَحُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسُئِلَ ‏:‏ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ النَّارَ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ الأَجْوَفَانِ ‏:‏ الْفَمُ وَالْفَرْجُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Practice piety & good manners

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how one can reach either Paradise or Hell. According to Prophet Muhammad, piety and good manners are what will admit people into Paradise. On the other hand, he warned against using one's mouth or private part in a way that would lead them astray from righteousness. This means that we should be careful with our words as well as our actions in order for us to be admitted into Heaven. We should also strive to practice good manners at all times so that we can be rewarded with eternal bliss in the afterlife.
