« His words: [42:23] …If anyone acquires a good deed, We shall enhance for him his goodness… He said: It refers to the cognisance (maʿrifa) [that a person should have] of his state relating to an act, before entering upon it, and after its completion, as to whether it is unhealthy (saqīm) or sound (saḥīḥ).11 His words, Exalted is He: [42:24] …For if God so wishes, He can seal your heart… He said: He could place the seal of longing (shawq) and love (maḥabba) on your hearts, so that you would cease to notice people and you would not occupy yourselves with love for them and visiting them anymore. »
