حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ، صُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ، وَإِنْ زَادَ زَادَتْ، حَتَّى يَعْلُوَ قَلْبَهُ ذَاكَ الرَّانُ (٤) الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ، ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ: {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين: ١٤] " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When a sin is committed by a Muslim, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents and seeks forgiveness, his heart becomes clean and bright again. Otherwise, as the sins increase, so do the black spots, until rust overtakes his heart, as Allah has mentioned in the Noble Qur’an with these words: "Nay! But on their hearts is the rust of that which they used to earn."
