Sorah Al-Balad ( The City ) - Verses Number 20
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 1 ) 
I swear by this city, Makkah -
وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 2 )
And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ ( 3 )
And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ ( 4 )
We have certainly created man into hardship.
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ( 5 )
Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ( 6 )
He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ ( 7 )
Does he think that no one has seen him?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ ( 8 )
Have We not made for him two eyes?
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ( 9 )
And a tongue and two lips?
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ ( 10 )
And have shown him the two ways?
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ ( 11 )
But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ( 12 )
And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ( 13 )
It is the freeing of a slave
أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ ( 14 )
Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ( 15 )
An orphan of near relationship
أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ( 16 )
Or a needy person in misery
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ( 17 )
And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.
أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ( 18 )
Those are the companions of the right.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ( 19 )
But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 20 )
Over them will be fire closed in.

- Guarding the TongueBefore you is a chapter from the great book "Al-Adhkaar" of the Imam and great scholar of the seventh century, Abu Zakariyyah Yahya ibn Sharaf an-Nawawi. The chapter is entitled "Hifdh-ul-Lisaan" or "Guarding the Tongue." The original source, "Al-Adhkaar," is one of the prize works of Imam an-Nawawi in which he compiles and discusses the texts related to what is recommended and forbidden from speech, focusing on al-adhkaar (words of remembrance) and al-ad'iyah (supplications). In the last part of the book, as he explains, Imam an-Nawawi devotes a chapter to what is forbidden and disliked from speech, such as backbiting, gossiping, and slander. So he brings the evidences from the Qur'aan and Sunnah on the obligation of guarding the tongue from evil speech. This great work was checked and verified by Shaikh Saleem ibn 'Eed al-Hilaali and printed in two volumes. In his verification, Shaikh Saleem provides a grading for each hadeeth as well as a discussion about the reason for the hadeeth's authenticity or weakness. Due to a desire to make the e-book a source of easy reading and benefit, the verification of hadeeths have been limited to just the grade that Shaikh Saleem al-Hilaali has provided and the references of the hadeeth sources they can be found in, while abridging his discussions of certain hadeeths in some places.
