(1). 3334. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Verily, when the slave (of Allāh) commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. When he refrains from it, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it increases until it cover his entire heart. And that is the 'Rān' which Allāh mentioned: Nay, but on their hearts is the Rān which they used to earn.[1] (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣāḥih.

Commentary
When mankind does not use its natural talents properly and the faculty of the intellect and the heart, and he becomes a habitual perpetrator of sins by obeying his desires, then the dirt of all of his deeds gradually begins to cover the heart and after sometime it encompasses his entire heart; there remains no place for anything good in the heart. The person becomes a slave of sins.
