The heart becomes corrupt in six ways

"The heart becomes corrupt in six ways:
[1] Committing sins in the hope of repenting (later on in life),
[2] Seeking knowledge and not applying it,
[3] Practice without ikhlas [i.e. sincerity],
[4] Eating the sustenance of Allah without thanking Him for it,
[5] Not being pleased with Allah's decree and
[6] Burying the dead without learning from them."
[Hasan Al-Basri (may Allâh have mercy on him)]
