Allah says in the beginning of Soorah al-Mumineen, "Indeed successful are the Believers, those who in their prayer have Khushoo' (fear of Allah) and those who refrain from vain talk." [Soorah Mumineen : 1-3]
Allah has placed this tongue of ours in a prison, that it does not come out except when there is a need for it.Umm Habiba (radi Allahu anha) reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa salaam) said:
"Every saying of the children of Adam is cursed except for enjoining good and forbidding the evil or for the remembrance of Allah." [Tirmidhi who said 'Hasan gharib', it is being reported solely by Muhammad ibn Yazid ibn Khanis. Ibn Majah in kitab al-fitan no. 4112].
This is similiar to another hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) who said that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa salaam) said:
"The world and all that it contains is cursed, except for the rembrance of Allah and what supports it; or a scholar and a student." (Authenticated by Shaykh al-Albani in Sahih ul-Jami no. 3414)]
