Publisher's Synopsis
Every harm that enters upon a servant, is caused by the heart's corruption. The corruption of the heart in turn brings about the removal of the heart's right upon Allaah, the Exalted, and a diminution of its degree and rank in the sight of Allaah. For this reason, some of the shaikhs advised with their saying, Be cautious of (the) mixing with a person which will cause wastage of time and corruption of the heart.
