1551. THE VEIL OF THE HEART

5324.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : إنَّ المؤمنَ إذا أذنَبَ كانَت نُكتَةٌ سَوداءُ في قَلبِهِ ، فإن تابَ ونَزَعَ واستَغفَرَ صُقِلَ قَلبُهُ، فإن زاد زَادَت ، فذلكَ الرانُ الذي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ في كتابِهِ (كَلَّا بَلْ رانَ على‏ قُلوبِهِم ما كانُوا يَكسِبُونَ)¹ ،² .

5324.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'When a believer sins a black dot appears on his heart. If he repents, pulls back and seeks forgiveness his heart is cleansed from the black dot, but if he increases his sins the dot grows larger, and this is the rust that Allah has mentioned in His Book: "No indeed! Rather their hearts have been sullied by what they have been earning." ³⁴

5325.الإمامُ الكاظمُ عليه السلام : أوحَى اللَّهُ تعالى‏ إلى‏ داودَ عليه السلام : يا داودُ ، حَذِّرْ وأنذِرْ (ونَذِّرْ) أصحابَكَ عن حُبِّ الشَّهَواتِ ، فإنّ المُعَلَّقةَ قُلوبُهُم بِشَهَواتِ الدنيا قُلوبُهُم مَحجوبَةٌ عَنِّي .⁵

5325.Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, 'Allah Almighty revealed unto David (AS), 'O David, warn and caution your companions against the love of desires, for those whose hearts are attached to worldly desires, their hearts are veiled from Me.' ⁶
