كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: When the Mu’min sins, a black spot forms on his heart.

This is the corrosion of the heart spoken of by Allah Ta’ala (in the Qur’aan) ~ Tirmidhi
