Symptoms of a Diseased Heart – Abdur Rahman’s Corner

Peace, one and all…

Following on from a recent post, beloved Dhu al-Nun al-Misri is reported to have said: ‘Four things are symptoms of the diseased heart: first, it does not find sweetness in devotion. Second, it does not fear the mighty and glorious Lord. Third, it does not see a warning in things. And fourth, it does not understand the learning it hears’.

Quoted in Attar’s Tadhkirat al-Awliya
