The hadith of the brave man who leaves nothing out and how to rectify the inner self

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

You mentioned the virtue of the Shaykh in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the brave man who leaves nothing out, and they said: He is from the people of Paradise,The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (He is from the people of the Fire) and you mentioned regarding the rectification of the inner self, so how is the inner self rectified?
The hadith that is established in al-Bukhari regarding the story of the man who left nothing out,So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (He is from the people of the Fire) ,And I did not know that anyone said: He is from the people of Paradise,But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (He is from the people of the Fire, and that was a great burden for the Companions,And they said: How can this man be from the people of the Fire?So one of them said: By Allah, I will keep him under observation and see what his state will be, and in the end the man killed himself, so the one who was observing him came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah: so he said: How? So he informed him,So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise in the eyes of the people, yet he is from the people of the Fire) , and this clearly indicates that the criterion and the essence lie in the intention within the heart,And this is indicated by the saying of Allah the Exalted:

⁽⁹⁾ But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered ⁽¹⁰⁾ And that within the breasts is obtained,

أَفَلا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ * وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

[al-'Aadiyat: 9-10] ,and His saying, the Exalted:

⁽⁸⁾ Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. ⁽⁹⁾ The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

إِنَّهُ عَلَى رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ * يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

[al-Tariq: 8-9] meaning: they are tested.
Rectifying the inner self is achieved by sincere sincerity with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such that one does not care about creation, whether they praise him or criticize him, benefit him or harm him. His heart is with Allah in worship, in devotion, in love and reverence, and his heart is with Allah in estimation and management, knowing that what befell him was not to miss him, and what missed him was not to befall him. He is pleased with what Allah has decreed for him,When the matter occurs, he says: perhaps it is better,He always feels the saying of Allah the Exalted:

perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.

فَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئاً وَيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْراً كَثِيراً

[al-Nisa: 19]

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئاً وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئاً وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَ

[al-Baqarah: 216] and the like of the heart’s attachment to Allah. The most important thing is that your heart is with Allah always, and if it is with Allah always, your inner self is rectified; because you do not care about creation. Creation is to you like yourself, or even less, as long as you are attached to your Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He), taking refuge in Him, guided by His guidance, taking refuge in His rope, then no one concerns you.
