50. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from Abu Hamza al-Thumali, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said
Hearts are (of) three (types): a capsized heart that does not comprehend anything of goodness, and that is the heart of a disbeliever; a heart in which there is a black mark, and so, good and evil are wrestling in it, and that which is the strongest will dominate it; and an open heart in which there is a lamp that radiates and whose light is not extinguished until the Day of Resurrection, and that is the heart of a believer.
حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن الحسين بن الحسن بن أبان، عن محمد بن أورمة، عن محمد بن خالد، عن هارون، عن المفضل، عن سعد الخفاف ، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
القلوب أربعة: قلب فيه نفاق وإيمان، وقلب منكوس، وقلب مطبوع، وقلب أزهر أنور . قلت: ما لا زهر. قال: فيه كهيئة السراج، وأما المطبوع فقلب المنافق، وأما الأزهر فقلب المؤمن إن أعطاه الله عز وجل شكر، وإن ابتلاه صبر، وأما المنكوس فقلب المشرك ثم قرأ هذه الآية: " أفمن يمشي مكبا على وجهه أهدى أمن يمشي سويا على صراط مستقيم " أما القلب الذي فيه إيمان ونفاق فهم قوم كانوا بالطائف وإن أدرك أحدهم أجله على نفاقه هلك وإن أدركه على إيمانه نجا.
