Hadeeth: "Imaan will not be upright until his heart is upright"

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

* From Anas bin Maalik رضي الله عنه who said that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “A slave’s Imaan will not be upright until his heart is upright, and his heart will not be upright until his tongue is upright, and a man whose neighbor is not safe from his harm will not enter Paradise.”

[Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (3/198) and Shaikh al-Albaanee said in al-Saheehah (2841): “the narrators are trustworthy; they are the narrators of (Imaam) Muslim, except for `Alee bin Mas`adah al-Bahilee”. And he graded it as “Hasan” in Saheeh al-Targheeb (2554, 2865)]

* Narrated An Nu`maan bin Bashir رضي الله عنه: I heard Allaah’s Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: “Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these suspicious things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else, and at any moment he is liable to get in it. (O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allaah on the earth is His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.”

[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (52, 2051) and Saheeh Muslim (3004)]
