إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً نَكَتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةً مِنْ نُورٍ فَأَضَاءَ لَهَا سَمْعُهُ وَ قَلْبُهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَحْرَصَ عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ سُوءاً نَكَتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةً سَوْدَاءَ فَأَظْلَمَ لَهَا سَمْعُهُ وَ قَلْبُهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلامِ وَ مَنْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقاً حَرَجاً كَأَنَّما يَصَّعَّدُ فِي السَّماءِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Hameed Bin Abu Al A’ala, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, when He<sup>azwj</sup> intends goodness with a servant, Imprints a spot of Noor (light) in his heart, so it illuminates his hearing and his heart for him to the extent that he becomes greedy upon what is in your hands (Al-Wilayah) among you; and when He<sup>azwj</sup> Intends evil with a servant, Imprints a black spot in his heart, so it darkens his hearing and his heart to it’. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> recited this Verse <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:6#h125"><a href="/books/quran:6#h125">[6:125]</a></a> Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah Intends that He would Guide him aright, He Expands his chest for Islam, and (for) whomsoever He Intends that He should Let him to err, He makes his chest straitened and narrow as though he were ascending to the sky</span>’.
