Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of his noble father (a.s).
“Nothing will corrupt the heart as much as committing sins. The heart will encounter the sins, and will continue until the sins overcome it. Then the heart will be turned upside down.”
عن أبي عبد الله عن أبيه (عليهما السلام) قال
ما من شئ أفسد للقلب من الخطيئة، إن القلب ليواقع الخطيئة فما تزال به حتى تغلب عليه، فيصير أسفله أعلاه وأعلاه أسفله.
