00:00As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
00:05Sahih al-Bukhari hadith number 6018.
00:09Speak good or stay silent.
00:13Most people don't realize this.
00:16But huge part of the problem in our lives don't come from big actions.
00:21They come from small words.
00:24One sentence said at the wrong time can damage a relationship.
00:28One careless comment can stay in someone's mind for years.
00:33And the scary part is most of us don't even think before we speak.
00:38We just react.
00:39And that is exactly why this hadith is so powerful.
00:44The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said.
00:47Whoever believes in Allah and the last day should speak good or stay silent.
00:54Simple words.
00:56But if you really understand it.
00:58This one hadith can completely change the way you communicate.
01:03Notice something very important here.
01:05The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam connect speech with faith.
01:09He doesn't just say be careful with your words.
01:12He says if you believe in Allah and the last day.
01:16Then your speech should reflect that.
01:20Which means speaking is not just a habit.
01:24It is a responsibility.
01:27Because every word you say has an impact on people.
01:31And is recorded by Allah.
01:34And that change everything.
01:36Because now it is not just about do I feel like saying this.
01:40It becomes should I be saying this.
01:43Be real for a moment.
01:45Most people don't hurt others intentionally.
01:48They hurt others carelessly.
01:50Through sarcasm, anger, gossip, unnecessary comments.
01:56Trying to be funny at someone else expense.
01:58And later they say I didn't mean it.
02:01But the damage is already done.
02:04Because words don't disappear.
02:07They stay in the people's heart.
02:09You see there is a lot in close relationship.
02:13With parents, with spouses, with friends.
02:16We become comfortable.
02:18So we become careless.
02:20And sometimes the people closest to us are the ones most affected by our words.
02:25Today we live in a world where everywhere feels, everyone feels the need to say something.
02:33Comment on everything.
02:34Respond to everything.
02:36Share opinions on everything.
02:38Especially online.
02:40And the problem is not every thought needs to be spoken.
02:44Not every feeling needs to be expressed.
02:46Not every situation needs to your opinion.
02:49Sometimes silence is not weakness.
02:52It is a wisdom.
02:53And this hadith is teaching exactly that balance.
02:56The Prophet didn't just say stay silent.
03:00He gave two options.
03:01Speak good or stay silent.
03:04Meaning, if what you are about to say is beneficial, kind, necessary, truthful in a good way, then speak.
03:12But if it is harmful, unnecessary, hurtful, just emotional reaction, then silence is better.
03:20And honestly, a lot of problems in life would disappear if people just followed this one rule.
03:26So here is something simple you can start doing.
03:28Before you speak, just pause for a second and ask yourself.
03:33Is this good?
03:35Or is it just something I feel like saying?
03:38That one question can save you from regret, conflict, broken trust.
03:43Because many people don't regret staying silent.
03:47They regret what they said.
03:50This hadith is teaching us something very powerful.
03:52Your words are not smart.
03:54They build a relationship or they break them.
03:57They bring hearts closer or push them away.
04:00And sometimes, the most mature thing you can do is not proving your point, but protecting your character.
04:07Because in the end, not everything that can be said, should be said.
