Ibn Umar (ra) narrated : " Do not talk excessively without remembering Allah , because such excessive talk without the mention of Allah causes the heart to harden , and the person furthest from Allah is the person with a hard heart"
[Tirmidhi]
Explanation : Unnecessary talking not only poisons the heart but it is also one of the major reasons why people are sent to the Hellfire. As narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet said, "What mostly cause people to be sent to the Fire are the two openings: the mouth and the private parts."
The slave is not afflicted with a punishment greater than the hardening of the heart and being distant from Allah for the fire was created to melt the hardened heart. The most distant heart from Allah is the heart which is hardened. If the heart becomes hardened , the eye becomes dry
Whoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires. If the heart is nourished with remembrance, its thirst quenched with contemplation and cleansed with corruption , it shall witness remarkable and wondrous matters , inspiring wisdom.
The People of Knowledge and Wisdom are those who infused life into their hearts by slaying their desires . As for the one who slew his heart and vitalized his desires , then knowledge and wisdom are naked upon his tongue.
Yearning for Allah and His meeting is like the gentle breeze blowing upon the heart, extinguishing the blaze of the Dunya. Whosoever caused his heart to settle with his Lord shall be in a state, calm and tranquil, and whosoever sent it amongst the people shall be disturbed and excessively perturbed.
Hence, the most beloved servant before Allah is the one whom He places in His servitude, whom He selects for His love, whom He causes to purify his worship for Him, dedicates his objectives for Him, his tongue for His remembrance, and his limbs for His service.
The heart becomes sick, as the body becomes sick, and its remedy is al-Tawbah[Repentance] and protection [from transgression].
It becomes rusty as a mirror becomes rusty, and its clarity is obtained by remembrance.
It becomes naked as the body becomes naked, and its beautification is al-Taqwa [Piety].
It becomes hungry and thirsty as the body becomes hungry, and its food and drink is knowledge, love, dependence, repentance and servitude.
