حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَصْبَحْتُ يَوْمًا قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُبَاعِدُنِي عَنِ النَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ:‏‏‏‏ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ثُمَّ تَلَا:‏‏‏‏ تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ سورة السجدة آية 16 حَتَّى بَلَغَ يَعْمَلُونَ سورة السجدة آية 19، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِرَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ الْإِسْلَامُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَمُودُهُ الصَّلَاةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذِرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ الْجِهَادُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَلَاكِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِهِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُفَّ عَلَيْكَ هَذَا ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّا لَمُؤَاخَذُونَ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ أَوْ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal: I accompanied the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey. One day I was near him while we were moving so I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Inform me about an action by which I will be admitted into Paradise, and which will keep me far from the Fire.' He said: 'You have asked me about something great, but it is easy for whomever Allah makes it easy: Worship Allah and do not associate any partners with Him, establish the Salat, give the Zakat, fast Ramadan and perform Hajj to the HOuse.' Then he said: 'Shall I not guide you to the doors of good? Fasting is a shield, and charity extinguishes sins like water extinguishes fire - and a man's praying in depths of the night.' He said: Then he recited: 'Their sides forsake their beds to call upon their Lord.' Until he reached: 'What they used to do.' [32:16-17] Then he said: 'Shall I not inform you about the head of the entire matter, and its pillar, and its hump?' I said: 'Of course O Messenger of Allah! He said: 'The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat, and its hump is Jihad.' Then he said: 'Shall I not inform you about what governs all of that?' I said: 'Of course O Messenger of Allah!' He (ﷺ) said: So he grabbed his tongue. He said 'Restrain this.' I said: 'O Prophet of Allah! Will we be taken to account for what we say?' He said: 'May your mother grieve your loss O Mu'adh! Are the people tossed into the Fire upon their faces, or upon their noses, except because of what their tongues have wrought'
