   • 7th century CE, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, 1:276:

     تُعْرَضُ الْفِتَنُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ كَالْحَصِيرِ عُودًا عُودًا فَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أُشْرِبَهَا نُكِتَ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ وَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أَنْكَرَهَا نُكِتَ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ عَلَى قَلْبَيْنِ عَلَى أَبْيَضَ مِثْلِ الصَّفَا فَلَا تَضُرُّهُ فِتْنَةٌ مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَالآخَرُ أَسْوَدُ مُرْبَادًّا كَالْكُوزِ مُجَخِّيًا لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا إِلَّا مَا أُشْرِبَ مِنْ هَوَاهُ.

     Temptations will be presented to the hearts like mats are woven stick by stick and any heart which has indulged in them will be struck by a black mark and any heart which has refused them will be struck by a white mark, so that there will be two types of hearts, one like stone that will not be hurt by any temptation as long as heavens and earth stand, the other black and dustish like a tankard stooped to the ground, not knowing what is known to be good and not rejecting what is rejected, only filled by passion.
