“I (Sufyan, son of Abdullah) said to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, tell me something to which I should hold fast.’ He said, ‘Say: My Lord is Allah, then be straight.’ Then I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, what is it that you consider most injurious to me?’ Then he took hold of his tongue and said, ‘This.’”

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Sufyan, son of Abdullah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
