Can this narration be quoted?
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The faith of a servant is not upright until his heart is upright, and his heart is not upright until his tongue is upright. A man will not enter Jannah if his neighbour is not secure from his evil.”
Answer:
Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3 pg. 198)
The Hadith is suitable to quote and is corroborated.
(Refer: Targhib, vol. 3 pg. 353 and pg. 527, Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. pg. 1 pg. 53 and pg. 57)
The last part of the Hadith is also recorded in Sahih Muslim. See here.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
