The righteous actions of the limbs will not be sufficient - and [will be] of no use - unless the actions are flowing from a righteous heart. So whenever, the heart is unrighteous, then there is neither reliance nor any consideration of the actions of the limbs, whose exterior appears to be righteous.
Imams Bukhari and Muslim recorded from the hadeeth of Nu'man ibn Basheer that the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:
“Verily, there is a piece of flesh in the body, if it is healthy, the whole body is healthy, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Verily, it is the heart."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, hadith 588 | Muhsin Khan]
