Hadith 37:287

Abu Mu’awiyah narrated to us, from al-A’mash, from ‘Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from Hudhayfah, who said: The hearts are four: A heart that is overturned (musaffah), and that is the heart of the hypocrite. A heart that is wrapped (aghlaf), and that is the heart of the disbeliever. A heart that is bare (ajrad), as if there is a lamp in it shining, and that is the heart of the believer. And a heart in which there is hypocrisy and faith; its likeness is like a sore that is supplied by pus and blood, and its likeness is like a tree that is watered by foul water and good water, so whichever water overcomes it, it prevails.

حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي البختري عن حذيفة قال القلوب أربعة قلب مصفح فذاك قلب المنافق وقلب أغلف فذاك قلب الكافر وقلب أجرد كأن فيه سراجا يزهر ( ( ( يزهو ) ) ) فذاك قلب المؤمن وقلب فيه نفاق وإيمان فمثله مثل قرحة يمدها قيح ودم ومثله مثل شجرة يسقيها ماء خبيث وماء طيب فأي ماء غلب عليها غلب
