Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day let him not harm his neighbour; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day let him show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day let him speak good or remain silent". <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Causing harm to neighbors by words or actions is inconsistent with having perfect faith, and is inconsistent with the traits of the believers.<br>
2) Fulfilling the right of the guest is one of the characteristics of the believers.<br>
3) One should watch his tongue and speak good words so that he would be a winner or remain silent so that he would be safe. All good lies in restraining the tongue from engaging in idle talk. There is a word of wisdom that states: “Affliction is the result of spoken words.”
