Sahih al-Bukhari 6478 (Book 81, Hadith 67) #6227
The Power of Words

SUMMARY: A person's words can have a great impact on their reward or punishment from Allah.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet; said, "A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire".
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً، يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that our words are powerful and can have a great impact on our lives. We should be mindful of what we say, as it can lead to either reward or punishment from Allah. Even if we don't think much of the words we say, they still carry weight and importance in the eyes of Allah. We should strive to speak only kind and positive words, as this will bring us closer to Allah and increase our rewards in the hereafter. On the other hand, careless speech that displeases Allah will result in punishment for us in the afterlife. Therefore, it is important for us to be aware of what we say at all times so that we may reap its rewards or avoid its consequences accordingly.
