ما مِن شيءٍ أفسَدَ للقَلبِ مِن خَطيئةٍ ، إنَّ القَلبَ لَيُواقِعُ الخَطيئةَ ، فما تَزالُ بهِ حتّى تَغلِبَ علَيهِ فَيَصيرَ أعلاهُ أسفَلَهُ.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

Nothing is more corruptive to the heart than sin, for the heart commits sin and continues to do so until it engulfs the whole heart and turns it upside down.
