حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْقُلُوبُ أَرْبَعَةٌ: قَلْبٌ أَجْرَدُ فِيهِ مِثْلُ السِّرَاجِ يَزْهَرُ، وَقَلْبٌ أَغْلَفُ مَرْبُوطٌ عَلَى غِلَافِهِ، وَقَلْبٌ مَنْكُوسٌ، وَقَلْبٌ مُصْفَحٌ، فَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْأَجْرَدُ: فَقَلْبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ سِرَاجُهُ فِيهِ نُورُهُ، وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْأَغْلَفُ: فَقَلْبُ الْكَافِرِ، وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْمَنْكُوسُ: فَقَلْبُ الْمُنَافِقِ عَرَفَ، ثُمَّ أَنْكَرَ، وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْمُصْفَحُ: فَقَلْبٌ فِيهِ إِيمَانٌ وَنِفَاقٌ، فَمَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ فِيهِ كَمَثَلِ الْبَقْلَةِ يَمُدُّهَا الْمَاءُ الطَّيِّبُ، وَمَثَلُ النِّفَاقِ فِيهِ كَمَثَلِ الْقُرْحَةِ يَمُدُّهَا الْقَيْحُ وَالدَّمُ، فَأَيُّ الْمَدَّتَيْنِ غَلَبَتْ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ " (٤)، ،
Translation
English translation
Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Hearts are of four types: the Ajrad heart, meaning an empty heart in which a lamp can be lit; the Aghlaf heart, meaning a heart covered with veils; the Mankus heart, meaning an inverted heart; and the Musfah heart, meaning a barren plain. The Ajrad heart is the heart of a Muslim, whose lamp is its light. The Aghlaf heart is the heart of a disbeliever. The Mankus heart is the heart of a hypocrite, who, after recognizing the truth, denies it. The Musfah heart is the heart in which there is both faith and hypocrisy. The example of faith in it is like greenery that grows with good and pure water, and the example of hypocrisy is like a wound in which pus and blood increase. Now, whichever of the two becomes dominant, its effect prevails over it.
