Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “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.”
قال الباقر (عليه السلام): ما من شئ أفسد للقلب من الخطيئة، إن القلب ليواقع الخطيئة فما تزال به حتى تغلب عليه، فيصير أسفله أعلاه وأعلاه أسفله.
