Another negative trait of the soul is speaking to often. This is caused by desiring the attention of people or when one does not understand the risk of vain and evil words. A muslim should be aware that their speech is recorded and they will be held accountable for them. Chapter 50 Qaf, verse 18:
“He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].”
One should always remember the Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 3970, which warns that it only takes a single evil word to cause one to plunge into Hell on Judgement Day. In fact, according to a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 3973, speech is the main cause of people entering Hell on Judgment Day.
It is best for each muslim to act on the short but extremely far reaching advice of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6018. He advised muslims to either speak good words or remain silent. Chapter 4 An Nisa, verse 114:
“No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allah – then We are going to give him a great reward.”
