We live in a time, where people are careless of the words they utter from their mouth. The wise individual is one who tastes his/her own words before they spit them out.
Surah Qaaf (Ayah 18) Allah says ''Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]"
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A person utters a word thoughtlessly (i.e., without thinking about its being good or not) and, as a result of this, he will fall down into the fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Sheikh Salih Al Fawzaan hafidhahullah commenting on this hadith he said "This is only for speaking one word, so what about more than one word!" [Guarding The Tongue - Salih Al Fawzaan]
‘Umar b. Al-Khattāb once entered upon Abū Bakr – Allāh be pleased with them both – and found him pulling at his tongue. He said, “Oh, what are you doing?” Abū Bakr replied, “It is this (i.e my speech) that has brought me so much trouble.” Mālik, Al-Muatta 2:988
Message to you all: Hold on to your tongue and think BEFORE you speak for verily Allah will question you about your tongue. If you do not have anything good to say then remain SILENT as this is safe for you!
