Speech Sahih
Sahih Sahih Muslim 41 Narrator: Jabir ibn Abdullah

الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ

Speech Agreed upon
Agreed upon Sahih al-Bukhari 6478, Sahih Muslim 2988 Narrator: Abu Hurayrah

إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً، يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ

A servant may speak a word pleasing to Allah and be raised by it, and may speak a word of His anger and fall because of it.

Why it matters It forces seriousness around everyday speech. A single sentence can carry weight far beyond the moment.
Speech Hasan
Hasan Riyad as-Salihin 1522 Narrator: Muadh ibn Jabal

ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ وَهَلْ يُكَبُّ النَّاسَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ فِي النَّارِ إِلاَّ حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ

May your mother be bereaved of you, Muadh. Are people thrown on their faces into the Fire for anything other than the harvest of their tongues?

Why it matters It gives the tongue weight and consequence far beyond casual speech.
Speech Hasan
Hasan 40 Hadith an-Nawawi 12 Narrator: Abu Hurayrah

مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلَامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ

Whoever guarantees me what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I guarantee Paradise for him.

Speech Sahih
Sahih Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 312 Narrator: Abdullah ibn Masud

لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلاَ اللِّعَانِ وَلاَ الْفَاحِشِ وَلاَ الْبَذِي

A believer is not a defamer, nor a curser, nor coarse, nor obscene.
