Remove what Allaah Hates from Your Heart

Shaikh ʿUthaimīn said, “So don’t harbour anything that Allaah hates in your heart, if you do—Allaah knows it, it’s not hidden from Him. So purify your heart so that it becomes clean and sound, because the only thing that will help on the Day of Judgement is if someone comes with a pure, sound heart.”

Allaah ﷿ said: “May Allaah pardon you ˹O Prophet˺! Why did you give them permission ˹to stay behind from jihad˺ before those who told the truth were distinguished from those who were lying?” Surah Tawbah 9:43
As-Samarqandī said: “If He had begun His address to the Prophet ﷺ by saying, “Why did you give them permission ˹to stay behind from jihad˺ …” it would have been feared that the Prophet’s heart would have burst open due to the mixture of fear and respect inspired by awe and reverence [haiba] of this Statement of Allaah’s, only that out of His Mercy, Allaah the Most High informed him ﷺ of His Pardon so that his heart ﷺ would settle and then after that He said, “Why did you give them permission ˹to stay behind from jihad˺ before those who told the truth were distinguished from those who were lying?””
