Rasoolullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: When the son of Aadam gets up in the morning all the limbs humble themselves before the tongue and say: Have taqwa of Allaah for our sake, for we are dependant on you, If you are straight/upright, we are straight and If you are crooked, we are crooked.

In a lengthy hadeeth, the Rasoolullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said:

Shall I not tell you about the peak of the matter, Its pillar and Its top-most part. I said: Yes 0 Rasoolullaah. He said: The peak of the matter Is Islaam,, the pillar Is salaah; and Its top-most part is Jihaad. Then he said: Shall I not tell you of the controlling of all that? I said: Yes 0 Rasoolullaah, and he took hold of his tongue and said: Restrain this. I said: 0 Nabee of Allaah, will what we say be held against us ? He said : May your mother be bereavedq of you, 0 Mu’aadh ! Is there anything which topples people on their faces - or he said : On their noses - Into Hell-Fire other than the harvests of their tongues
