Full Description: The importance of this topic is highlighted by the supplication of the Prophet (saw) where he sought refuge with Allah from the hardness of the heart. He (saw) said:
“O Allah, I seek refuge with You from feebleness, laziness, stinginess, cowardice, senility, hardness [ of the heart], heedlessness, destitution, humiliation and privation. And I seek refuge with You from poverty, disbelief, Shirk, disobedience, opposition to the truth, hypocrisy, seeking fame and showing off. And I seek refuge with You from deafness, dumbness, insanity, leukoderma, leprosy, and all chronic diseases.”
Al-‘Allamah al-Shawkani explained al-Qaswah here to mean hardness of the heart to the extent that it does not accept admonition, fear punishment or show mercy to those deserving of it. [Tuhfah al-Dhakirin (p. 358)]
Malik b. Dinar said:
“A slave has never been punished with anything more severe than hardness of the heart.”
In this treatise Al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali scholastically discusses the dangers of the hardness of the heart, its causes and how it can be treated in light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
