Virtues & Benefits
A sound heart (Qalb Saleem) is free from doubt, envy, hypocrisy, and malice, reflecting a pure intention towards Allah and His creation. Steadfast faith (Iman Thabit) means having unshakeable belief in Allah, His messengers, books, angels, the Last Day, and divine decree. Praying for these qualities in a spouse helps foster a relationship built on mutual spiritual growth, strong adherence to Allah's commands, and resilience in the face of life's challenges. The Quran speaks of the importance of a sound heart: 'On the Day when neither wealth nor sons will be of any benefit, except for him who comes to Allah with a sound heart' (Ash-Shu'ara 26:88-89).
Source & Authentication
While there isn't a specific hadith with this exact wording attributed to the Prophet ๏ทบ, the sentiment and the request for a 'sound heart' and 'steadfast faith' are deeply rooted in Quranic principles and numerous authentic hadith that emphasize the importance of sincere intention, strong belief, and purity of heart. Scholars like Imam Al-Ghazali, in his Ihya Ulum al-Din, have formulated such comprehensive supplications based on these foundational texts. For instance, the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught us to seek refuge from the evil of our actions and our hearts, and to ask Allah to grant us faith that never wavers.
