Hazrat said that Allah Ta'alah has granted human beings such a great blessing in the form of speaking ability that a person can earn entry into Jannah (heaven) just by using that gift appropriately. For example if a person is distressed and anxious for some reason. You say something to console him that relives his anxiety and brings him some relief. Even one sentence that brings tranquility to a person's heart brings great Thawab (eternal rewards) from Allah Ta'alah. It has been narrated that Rasool Allah ﷺ said, which can be translated as, If a person says something to console a mother whose son has got lost or passed away, then Allah Ta'alah will reward him with expansive costumes in Jannah.
There are many other ways in which one can use his speaking ability to earn Thawab. If a person is going somewhere and can't find his way, and we guide him towards the right direction relieving his suffering, it brings great rewards from Allah Subhanahu Ta'alah. If we see a person praying Salah (Namaz) wrongly, and quietly, politely and when alone with him we guide him towards the right way of praying Salah then as long as he lives and keeps praying Salah correctly, we will keep getting the Thawab of that Salah.
If we are careful that when we say something it brings peace of mind, comfort, happiness to other people, and that we are careful that we don't break anyone's heart, hurt anyone's feelings, and don't abuse or badmouth anyone, this act alone can become a medium to take us to Jannah InshaAllah (God willing).
