Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, one of the listeners says: Are diseases of the heart, such as envy, desires, resentment, and others, considered among the major sins?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 52 And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 2201Sahih (Al-Albani) Sunan an-Nasa'i 75Sahih (Darussalam) So the heart is the place of good and evil. Every evil deed committed by the limbs has its origin in a defective belief in the heart. Shirk (associating partners with Allah) is among the diseases of the heart, and it is a cause of exiting Islam.
Likewise, arrogance. It was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 91c So a man said: A man loves for his garment to be good and his sandal to be good. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 91a Sahih Muslim 91a The treatment for diseases of the heart is by reciting the Qur'an. Allah the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:44] And by the frequent remembrance of Allah, humility, and turning back to Him. Yes.

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.
ان في الجسد مضغه اذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله واذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله الا وهي القلبActions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle
انما الاعمال بالنيات وانما لكل امرئ ما نوى فمن كانت هجرته الى الله ورسولهhis emigration was for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose emigration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his emigration was for that which he intended.
فهجرته إلى الله ورسوله، ومن كانت هجرته إلى دنيا يصيبها أو امرأة ينكحها، فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليه،Likewise, arrogance. It was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter Paradise.
لا يدخل الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من كبرVerily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace
إن الله جميل يحب الجمال.Pride is disdaining the truth (out of self-conceit) and contempt for the people.
الكبر بطر الحق وغمط الناس،Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure."
