Yahya ibn Muadh said: “The tears do not dry except due to har | اللؤلؤ والمرجان

Yahya ibn Muadh said:

“The tears do not dry except due to hardness of the heart.
And the hearts to not become hard except due to frequent sins.
And sins do not increase except due to many deficiencies (within the person).”
