Publisher's Synopsis
Al-Ḥakim reported in his book al-Mustadrak and at-Tabarani reported in his book al-M?ujam al-Kabir on the authority of ?Abdullah bin ?Umar bin al-Aas (May Allah be pleased with them) who said that the Messenger of Allah (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace) said,"Indeed, your ?Iman wears out in your heart similar to how a Thawb wears out. So supplicate Allah to restore the ?Iman in your hearts." ?Iman wears out the same way as a Thawb wears in the sense that it is subjected to deterioration, weakness, decrease due to disobedience, sins, and conflicting diversions that keep one away from ?Iman, in addition to trials that reduce the strength and vigor of one's ?Iman. They disfigure its beauty, excellence, and splendor.
