Hadith of the Week

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated (that the Prophet peace be upon him) said: "When the son of Adam wakes up in the morning, all of his body parts bow to the tongue and say: 'Fear Allah regarding us, we are only part of you. If you are straight we are straight and if you are crooked we are crooked."
(Jami`at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book 36, Hadith 105)
