4244. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When the believer commits sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents and gives up that sin and seeks forgiveness, his heart will be polished. But if (the sin) increases, (the black spot) increases. That is the Rân that Allāh mentions in His Book: "Nay! But on their hearts is the Rân (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn."[1] (Hasan)
4244 - هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ، صُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ، فَإِنْ زَادَ، زَادَتْ، فَذَلِكَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ: {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين: 14] "

If one falls into a sin, he should hasten to repent as soon as possible, to purify his heart. When hearts become black due to the effects of sins, the love of good deeds and hatred of sins vanish. Moreover, such a person is not blessed by repentance. The cure for spiritual diseases is in remembrance of Allâh, recitation of the Qur'ân, repenting, asking forgiveness and in remembering death.
