Riyad as-Salihin 1515 (Book 17, Hadith 5) #38004
The Power of Words

SUMMARY: Speaking words that are pleasing to Allah will be rewarded, while speaking words that are displeasing to Allah will be punished.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "A man utters a word pleasing to Allah without considering it of any significance for which Allah exalts his ranks (in Jannah); another one speaks a word displeasing to Allah without considering it of any importance, and for this reason he will sink down into Hell". Al-Bukhari.
وعنه عن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن العبد ليتكلم بالكلمة من رضوان الله تعالى ما يُلقي لها بالا يرفعه الله بها درجات، وإن العبد ليتكلم بالكلمة من سخط الله تعالى لا يُلقي لها بالا يَهوي بها في جهنم‏"‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
