Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "Who is the most excellent among the Muslims?" He said, "One from whose tongue and hands the other Muslims are secure."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
- وعن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه قال: قلت: يا رسول الله أي المسلمين أفضل؟ قال: "من سلم المسلمون من لسانه ويده". ((متفق عليه)).
