عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ – رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ – قَالَ: لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ – صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ – فَقُلْتُ: مَا النَّجَاةُ؟ فَقَالَ: أَمْلِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ، وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ، وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ

Answer
Sayyiduna ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that he met Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) and asked him:
“How will I be safe?” (from sin/punishment destruction etc)
Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) replied:
Control your tongue, let your home be spacious enough for you, and cry over your sins.
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2406. Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared this Hadith as sound-hasan-)
