Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us about two things, which if a Muslim observes, he will enter Paradise.
First: protecting the tongue from saying things that displease Allah Almighty.
Second: preserving the private parts from obscenity.
This is because these two organs are often used in the perpetration of sins.
Benefits of the hadith
- Protecting one's tongue and private parts is a means of entering Paradise.
- He singled out the tongue and the private parts because they are the greatest sources of trials for people in this world and in the Hereafter.
