وَعَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَخْلَصَ اللَّهُ قلبَه للإِيمان وجعلَ قلبَه سليما ولسانَه صَادِقا وَنَفْسَهُ مُطْمَئِنَّةً وَخَلِيقَتَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً وَجَعَلَ أُذُنَهُ مُسْتَمِعَةً وَعَيْنَهُ نَاظِرَةً فَأَمَّا الْأُذُنُ فَقَمِعٌ وَأَمَّا الْعَيْنُ فَمُقِرَّةٌ لِمَا يُوعَى الْقَلْبُ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ جَعَلَ قَلْبَهُ وَاعِيًا» رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
Abu Dharr Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He is successful whose heart Allah has made sincere towards faith (free of Hypocrisy), whose heart He has made safe and protected (from rancour, jealously and evil), his tongue truthful his soul satisfied and content his nature straight (not awry and inclined to falsehood) and his ears He made hear (the true words) and his eye sees (the signs of the unity of his Lord). So, the ear is a funnel (pouring truth to the heart) and the eye is an archive of what the heart preserves. He is successful whose heart is enabled to preserve (the truth and true things)." [2]
