Abu Hurrairah radi Allaahu anhu reported : The Messenger of Allaah swal Allaahu alyhi wa sallam was asked about the deed which will be foremost in causing a man to enter the Jannah. He replied, "Fear of Allaah and the good conduct." Then he was asked about that thing which will admit a man to Hell (Fire) the most and he answered, "The tongue and the private part (i.e., sexual organ)."
[At Tirmidhi]
Commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yousuf in Riyaadh us Swaleheen. 'This is a very comprehensive Hadith. Fear of Allaah really connects a man to Him, and moral refinement prevents him from falling short of his duties to people. To be sure, adherence to this two-fold practice will cause the entry of a lot of people to Jannah. Many people, on the other hand, have a long, sharp and dangerous tongue and this causes them to pour out heretic utterance and indulge in backbiting, slandering and abusive and nonsensical talk. All uhh actively leads to Hell. As for the private parts, a loose and unrestrained attitude incites one to indulge in immoral pursuits. In both these cases countless people will be led into Hell. For this reason it is imperative for everybody to develop Taqwa (consciousness of Allaah) and refined behaviour, and shun the wickedness of the tongue and sexual organs so that his life in the Hereafter may not be ruined.'
