Hearts are of Four Types

Hadhrat Hudhayfah :rad: once said, "Hearts are of four types;

(1) the veiled heart, which is the heart of the Kaafir,
(2) the two-faced heart, which is the heart of the hypocrite,
(3) the clear heart containing a shining lantern, which is the heart of a Mu'min and
(4) the heart that contains both hypocrisy and Imaan. The example of Imaan is like a tree that grows bigger with pure water while the example of hypocrisy is like a blister that grows bigger with blood and pus.

Therefore, the heart will be overpowered by whichever of the two (Imaan and
hypocrisy) is overwhelming."

Abu Nu'aym in his Hilya (Vol.1 Pg.276).
