the protected hearts
… the gloomy seditious affairs, the heresies, the consecutive authorities of the oppressors, the misfortunes, the fear of rulers, and incitement of shaytan - they all shake the pure intentions of the heart and stop the right (haq) guidance and recognition of the rightful, except the hearts of those whom Allah the Majestic protects. (Imam Sajjad (AS) attributed in Tuhaf al-Uqoul, trans. pg. 296)
