What does the Qur'an say about the tongue and what we say?

The Qur'an gives a sobering reason to guard your speech: there is not a single word you utter without an observer beside you, ready to record it. Every word counts — so the Qur'an urges us to make them good.

“Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].”— 50:18 (Saheeh International)
