Riyad as-Salihin 1516 (Book 17, Hadith 6) #38005
The Rewards of Good and Bad Words

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that Allah records our good and bad deeds, and rewards us accordingly on the Day of Judgment.

Abu 'Abdur-Rahman Bilal bin Al-Harith Al-Muzani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "A man speaks a good word without knowing its worth, Allah records for him His Good Pleasure till the day he will meet Him; and a man utters an evil word without realizing its importance, Allah records for him His displeasure till the day he will meet Him". Imam Malik and At-Tirmidhi.
وعن أبي عبد الرحمن بلال بن الحارث المزني رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏"‏إن الرجل ليتكلم بالكلمة من رضوان الله تعالى ما كان يظن أن تبلغ ما بلغت يكتب الله له بها رضوانه إلى يوم يلقاه، وإن الرجل ليتكلم بالكلمة من سخط الله ما كان يظن أن تبلغ ما بلغت يكتب الله له بها سخطه إلى يوم يلقاه”‏.‏ رواه مالك في الموطأ والترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that every word we say has an impact, whether it is good or bad. Allah records all of our words, both positive and negative, in order to reward us accordingly on the Day of Judgment. We should strive to speak only kind words as they will bring us closer to Allah's pleasure. On the other hand, if we speak ill or hurtful words then this will lead to Allah's displeasure. Therefore, it is important for us to think before we speak so that we can ensure that our words are pleasing in the eyes of Allah.
