السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri:
“O Abu Sa’eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart."
He said: “Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah , the hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah , may He be glorified and exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allah ."
[Al-Wabil as-Sayyib, Ibn al-Jawzi, 142]
