Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAHHeart is a garden, it is either fertilized or destroyed by the Divine rain; the rain of His Grace or the rain of His Wrath. The first one is revealed by thunders of majesty in the hearts of those who repent, by the lightening of desire in the hearts of the ascetics, by the showers of generosity in the hearts of the lovers, and by the breeze of appeasement in the heart sof the gnostics.Abul Hasan Nuri (d.907)
