The Belief in the Heart

Ammar went weeping to our Master Muhammad [s]. He did not weep for his parents or for himself or for the torture he had suffered - he wept because he praised the polytheists' idols.

Allah's Apostle consoled Ammar on his parents martyrdom. Ammar went on weeping. Then he said:

Allah's Apostle, the polytheists did not release me until they forced me to praise their gods

!

Our Master Muhammad [s] said kindly:

Ammar, what about your heart?

Ammar answered:

Allah's Apostle, my heart's certain of faith.

The Prophet [s] said:

Don't worry! Allah sent down a verse concerning you:

"Not, he who is compelled while his heart is at rest because of his faith."
