The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person says he feels and senses that his heart is of the fourth type, the one that contains the two matters.
The Shaykh:
That is a lot, my brother. That is a lot. Most people are like that, the ones whose hearts contain the two matters. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: So how do we treat this heart?
The Shaykh:
By turning to the obedience of Allah, and to seeking forgiveness and repentance, and by maintaining the obligatory acts. By that, the evil matter is erased from your heart. Yes.
