حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَدِّي، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ‏:‏ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ تَقْوَى اللهِ، وَحُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ، قَالَ‏:‏ وَمَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ النَّارَ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ الأَجْوَفَانِ‏:‏ الْفَمُ وَالْفَرْجُ‏.‏

He said, "Taqwa and good character. He was asked, "What is the most frequent reason for people entering the Fire?" He replied, "The two empty ones:
the mouth and the genitals."
