Jummah Reminder - The Best Of People
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: It was said to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “Who are the best of people? ”The Prophet said, “Everyone with a heart swept clean and a truthful tongue.” They said, “We understand a truthful tongue, but what is a heart swept clean?” The Prophet said, “It is Godfearing and pure without sin inside it, neither aggression, nor rancor, nor envy.”

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim commented, “A pure heart is free from idolatry, rancor, malice, envy, miserliness, arrogance, love of this world, and love of leadership. It is thus free from every affliction that distances one from Allah, free from every doubt that contradicts His message, free from every desire that opposes His command, free from every want that competes with His will, and free from everything that could cut one off from Allah. This is the pure heart in a paradise preceding in the world, in a paradise between worlds, and in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ كُلُّ مَخْمُومِ الْقَلْبِ صَدُوقِ اللِّسَانِ قَالُوا صَدُوقُ اللِّسَانِ نَعْرِفُهُ فَمَا مَخْمُومُ الْقَلْبِ قَالَ هُوَ التَّقِيُّ النَّقِيُّ لَا إِثْمَ فِيهِ وَلَا بَغْيَ وَلَا غِلَّ وَلَا حَسَدَ

قال ابن القيم وَالْقَلْبُ السَّلِيمُ هُوَ الَّذِي سَلِمَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَالْغِلِّ وَالْحِقْدِ وَالْحَسَدِ وَالشُّحِّ وَالْكِبْرِ وَحُبِّ الدُّنْيَا وَالرِّيَاسَةِ فَسَلِمَ مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ تُبْعِدُهُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَسَلِمَ مِنْ كُلِّ شُبْهَةٍ تُعَارِضُ خَبَرَهُ وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَهْوَةٍ تُعَارِضُ أَمْرَهُ وَسَلِمَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِرَادَةٍ تُزَاحِمُ مُرَادَهُ وَسَلِمَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَاطِعٍ يَقْطَعُ عَنِ اللَّهِ فَهَذَا الْقَلْبُ السَّلِيمُ فِي جَنَّةٍ مُعَجَّلَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَفِي جَنَّةٍ فِي الْبَرْزَخِ وَفِي جَنَّةِ يَوْمِ الْمَعَادِ
