Question

I am looking for a reference for this advice of Uwais al Qarani (rahimahullah):

“Pray to Allah to correct your heart and your intention, for you will never have to deal with anything more difficult than them.”

 

Answer

Imam Ibnul Jawzi (rahimahullah) has cited this.  Haram ibn Hayyan (rahimahullah)  once sought advice from Uwais al Qarani (rahimahullah). Among the pieces of advice he offered was the following:
“…Ask Allah to rectify your heart and intention, for there is nothing more challenging to deal with than these…”

(Sifatus Safwah, vol. 2, pg. 24)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صفة الصفوة: (٢/ ٢٤)
قال هرم بن حيان لأويس القرني: أوصني قال: توسد الموت إذا نمت، واجعله نصب عينيك، وإذا قمت فادع الله أن يصلح لك قلبك ونيتك، فلن تعالج شيئاً أشد عليك منهما، بينا قلبك معك ونيتك إذا هو مدبر، وبينا هو مدبر إذا هو مقبل، ولا تنظر في صغر الخطيئة ولكن انظر إلى عظمة من عصيت.
