Sunan Ibn Majah, 3969

It was narrated that ‘Alqamah bin Waqqas said that a man passed by him, who held a prominent position, and ‘Alqamah said to him:“You have kinship and rights, and I see you entering upon these rulers and speaking to them as Allah wills you should speak. But i heard Bilal bin Harith Al-Muzani, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), say that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘One of you may speak a word that pleases Allah, and not know how far it reaches, but Allah will record for him as pleasure, until the Day of Resurrection due to that word. And one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, and not know how far it reaches, but Allah will record against him his anger, until the Day he meets Him due to that word.” 'Alqamah said: "So look, woe to you, at what you say and what you speak about, for there is something that I wanted to say but I refrained because of what I heard from Bilal bin Harith

Rapporté par ‘Alqamah bin Waqqas : Un homme important est passé devant moi, et je lui ai dit : « Tu as des liens et des droits, et je te vois aller voir ces dirigeants et leur parler comme Allah veut que tu parles. Mais j’ai entendu Bilal bin Harith Al-Muzani, un compagnon du Messager d’Allah (ﷺ), dire que le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) a dit : “L’un de vous peut dire un mot qui plaît à Allah, sans savoir jusqu’où il ira, mais Allah l’inscrira comme une satisfaction jusqu’au Jour de la Résurrection à cause de ce mot. Et l’un de vous peut dire un mot qui met Allah en colère, sans savoir jusqu’où il ira, mais Allah inscrira contre lui Sa colère jusqu’au jour où il Le rencontrera à cause de ce mot.” » ‘Alqamah a dit : « Fais donc attention, malheur à toi, à ce que tu dis et à ce dont tu parles, car il y a des choses que je voulais dire mais auxquelles j’ai renoncé à cause de ce que j’ai entendu de Bilal bin Harith. »
