Hadith #568
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَلَا
أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْعَيْنُ تَزْنِي وَالْقَلْبُ يَزْنِي فَزِنَا الْعَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَا الْقَلْبِ التَّمَنِّي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ مَا هُنَالِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported — and I do not think he said it except from the Prophet ﷺ — that he said: 'Hearts are of four types: a heart that is clear like a shining lamp; a heart that is covered with a sheath; a heart that is inverted; and a heart that is wrapped up. As for the clear heart, it is the heart of the believer whose light is his lamp. As for the covered heart, it is the heart of the disbeliever. As for the inverted heart, it is the heart of the hypocrite. As for the wrapped heart, it is a heart that contains both faith and hypocrisy.'
