Hadith 8938

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَا أَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ خَيْرًا وَلَا شَرًّا حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يُخْتَمُ لَهُ يَعْنِي بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيلَ وَمَا سَمِعْتَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَقَلْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَشَدُّ انْقِلَابًا مِنَ الْقِدْرِ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَتْ غَلْيًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: After hearing a hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not make any judgment about the goodness or evil of any person until I see on which deed his life ends. Someone asked: Which hadith have you heard? I said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The heart of the son of Adam turns more frequently than a pot that is boiling completely.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The people of earlier times were steadfast and firmly established upon their respective beliefs; in the present era, qualities such as dignity, composure, and seriousness are becoming increasingly rare. One aspect of this is that it is no longer apparent when people shift from good deeds to evil deeds, or from evil deeds to good deeds. What is most prevalent is that people’s hearts are becoming empty of the recognition and love of Allah Ta‘ala and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), as a result of which there is a great increase in misconduct.
