Context
Then one should consider the hadith we have already quoted: “A person may say something that incurs the displeasure of Allah although he considers it trifling, and be hurled into the Fire of Hell because of it.” [3].One should also remember the rest of what we mentioned in the chapter on guarding the tongue and in the chapter on backbiting. He should add to this the saying: “Allah is with me, Allah beholds me, Allah watches me.”
