"May your mother be bereft of you, [O Muʿādh] ibn Jabal! Is there anything that topples people onto their faces in Hellfire except the harvests of their tongues?!" It was recorded by Ibn al-Bannāʾ in "Juzʾ al-Sukūt wa-Luzūm al-Buyūt" (57/5), and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (20/127-128) through two chains from Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī, who said: ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Nakhaʿī narrated to us, saying: Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī narrated to us from Muʿādh ibn Jabal (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) who said: I asked, "O Messenger of Allāh! Are we held accountable for everything we say?" He replied: ... and he mentioned it. I say: This isnād is authentic; its narrators are trustworthy, the men of the two Shaykhs, except for ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Nakhaʿī, who is unanimously considered trustworthy. Al-Bukhārī narrated from him in "al-Adab al-Mufrad," as mentioned in "Tahdhīb al-Mizzī" and "Taqrīb al-ʿAsqalānī." It appears in "Tahdhīb al-ʿAsqalānī" marked with (خ), which seems to be an error, and Allāh knows best. Know that the reason for extracting this ḥadīth, which is the last part of a long ḥadīth of Muʿādh (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), is that I had extracted it from the narration of al-Tirmidhī and others through the route of Abū Wāʾil, Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, and Maymūn ibn Abī Shaybah in an extended form, with each adding to the other. All of them are defective due to disconnection except for the narration from Shahr, as will be mentioned. I extracted that in "al-Irwāʾ" (2/138-141), and its defects were also clarified by al-Mundhirī in "al-Targhīb" (4/5-6), then by Ibn Rajab in "Sharḥ al-Arbaʿīn" (p. 196), who commented on it by saying: "It has other routes, all of which are weak." So when I came across this isnād for this part, I hastened to extract it due to its rarity and authenticity, contrary to those other routes
