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)

Commentary
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.
