الْقُلُوبُ ثَلَاثَةٌ قَلْبٌ مَنْكُوسٌ لَا يَعِي شَيْئاً مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَ هُوَ قَلْبُ الْكَافِرِ وَ قَلْبٌ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَالْخَيْرُ وَ الشَّرُّ فِيهِ يَعْتَلِجَانِ فَأَيُّهُمَا كَانَتْ مِنْهُ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَلْبٌ مَفْتُوحٌ فِيهِ مَصَابِيحُ تَزْهَرُ وَ لَا يُطْفَأُ نُورُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ هُوَ قَلْبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The قُلُوبَ are three (types) – an inverted الْقَلْبُ not being aware of anything from the good, and it is the الْقَلْبُ of the <span class="iTxt">Kafir</span> (disbeliever); and a الْقَلْبُ (<span class="iTxt">Qalb</span>) wherein is a black spot, so the good and the evil are wrestling in it. So it would be whichever of the two which overcomes upon it; and an open الْقَلْبُ wherein are shining lanterns, and its light will not be getting extinguished until the Day of Judgment, and it is the الْقَلْبُ of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>’.
