سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْقَلْبَ يَكُونُ فِي السَّاعَةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ إِيمَانٌ وَ لَا كُفْرٌ أَ مَا تَجِدُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ نُكْتَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدِهِ بِمَا شَاءَ إِنْ شَاءَ بِإِيمَانٍ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ بِكُفْرٍ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Al Magra’a, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The الْقَلْبُ (<span class="iTxt">Qalb</span>) happens to be such during a time from the night and the day, there is neither <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> in it nor <span class="iTxt">Kufr</span> (disbelief). But, do you not find that (to be so)? Then a spot appears after that from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> in the heart of His<sup>azwj</sup> servant with whatever He<sup>azwj</sup> so Desires. If He<sup>azwj</sup> so Desires with <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>, and if He<sup>azwj</sup> so Desires, with <span class="iTxt">Kufr</span> (disbelief)’.
