أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ , فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ , صُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ , فَإِنْ زَادَ زَادَتْ , فَذَلِكَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ سورة المطففين آية 14 " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “When the believer commits sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents and gives up that sin and seeks forgiveness, his heart will be polished. But if (the sin) increases, (the black spot) increases. That is the Ran that Allah mentions in His Book: “Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.” [83:14]

Benefits and Issues:
➊ If a sin is committed, one should repent as soon as possible.
➋ The harm of the heart becoming blackened due to sins is that love for good deeds and hatred for sins are lost, as a result of which one is not granted the ability to repent.
➌ The cure for spiritual diseases is the remembrance of Allah, recitation of the Qur'an, repentance and seeking forgiveness, and remembrance of death.
