مَنْ خَزَنَ لِسَانَهُ، سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ، وَمَنْ كَفَّ غَضَبَهُ، كَفَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَذَابَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنِ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَى اللَّهِ، قَبِلَ اللَّهُ عُذْرَهُ
Translation: Whoever restrains the tongue, Allah conceals that person’s faults; whoever holds back anger, Allah keeps punishment from that person on the Day of Resurrection; and whoever seeks Allah’s pardon, Allah accepts the plea.

This report brings together three clauses beginning with مَنْ: guarding speech, restraining anger, and seeking pardon from Allah. خَزَنَ لِسَانَهُ concerns control of the tongue, كَفَّ غَضَبَهُ holding anger back, and اعْتَذَرَ إِلَى اللَّهِ presenting a plea for forgiveness.
The responses are also parallel: سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ, كَفَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَذَابَهُ, and قَبِلَ اللَّهُ عُذْرَهُ. The structure links speech, emotional self-control, and repentance into a coherent moral lesson.
