Answer

Sayyiduna ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that he met Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and asked him:

“How will I be saved?” (from sin/punishment destruction etc.)

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) 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-)
