عن أبي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إن العبد لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بالكلمة من رِضْوَانِ الله تعالى ما يُلْقِي لها بَالًا يَرْفَعُهُ الله بها درجاتٍ، وإن العبد لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بالكلمة من سَخَطِ الله تعالى لا يُلْقِي لها بَالًا يَهْوِي بها في جهنم».
وعن أبي عبد الرحمن بلال بن الحارث المزني رضي الله عنه : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إن الرجل لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بالكلمة من رِضْوَانِ الله تعالى ما كان يظن أن تبلغ ما بَلَغَتْ يكتب الله له بها رِضْوَانَهُ إلى يوم يَلْقَاهُ، وإن الرجل لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بالكلمة من سَخَطِ الله ما كان يظن أن تبلغ ما بَلَغَتْ يكتب الله له بها سَخَطَهُ إلى يوم يَلْقَاهُ».

A person may speak a word which Allah, the Almighty, loves and is pleased with, like advising, directing, or teaching others, and he does not realize the level it reaches in terms of the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty, and because of that word Allah raises him to lofty ranks. Likewise, a person may speak a word that displeases Allah, such as backbiting, gossip, and slander, and it causes him to fall into Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection.
