In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The life of the predecessors between words and deeds
The salaf’s concern for the heart and caution against its harshness
Weak heart, rapid fluctuation and change
On the authority of Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The heart of a believer is like a bird
It fluctuates over and over every day
Beware of heart disease and its causes

It was said: If I catch him
He said, “We agreed.”
But he may take away a part of my heart
I hated having my heart occupied with anything
On the authority of Abu Hazim, may God have mercy on him, he said:
The servant does a good deed that pleases him when he does it
Whatever evils God has created are more harmful to Him than them
And the servant does evil deeds that are bad for him when he does them
There is no good that God Almighty has created that is more beneficial to Him than it
This is because when a servant does a good deed, he becomes arrogant in it
He believes that he has superiority over others
Perhaps God Almighty will frustrate her and many deeds with her
And the servant does evil, and it displeases him
Perhaps God Almighty will cause him to go mad in it
God bless him, but her fear remains in his heart
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, was asked
What is the punishment of the world?
He said death of the heart
It was said: What is the death of the heart?

There is no good in us
We do not like the righteous
Hudhayfah Al-Marashi, may God have mercy on him, said
No one has been afflicted with a greater calamity than the hardness of his heart
On the authority of Muhammad bin Ubadah Al-Maafiri
He said, “We were with Abu Shurayh Al-Khuza’i, may God have mercy on him.”
So the issues abounded
He said, “I have trained your hearts.”
So go to Khalid bin Humaid Al-Mahri
Take control of your hearts
And learn these desires and chips
It renews worship
Asceticism is inherited
Friendship drags
Say the issues
It is other than what was revealed
It hardens the heart and causes enmity

It's true, I swear
Whoever thinks that the issues of principles and implications of speech
In opposition to the text
So what if it is a question of logic?

Vaccines, guidance, and stories in mending the heart
Correct intentions and honesty with God

If your hearts are sick and your bodies are healthy
But you are more insignificant to God than the scarab

The slave is rewarded if he has good intentions
Al-Fudayl bin Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said to a man
If I teach you a word
It is better than the world and everything in it
By God, because God knows you
Remove human beings from your heart
So that there is no room in your heart for anyone else
You did not ask Him for anything but He gave it to you

Communicate these words
And if they are absent

This is a great commandment
Easy for the administrator
Easy to understand and comply with for the questioner
And the one who does it will be eternally rewarded
For its permanence and continuity
It is true for all the actions of the hearts required by law
Whether it relates to the Creator or to the creature
And it will be rewarded
I did not find any disagreement regarding the reward for it
The importance of turning the heart to God
Attachment to him and trust in him
On the authority of Saeed bin Al-Musayyab, may God have mercy on him, he said:
Whoever dispenses with God, people will lack him
