عنْ أبي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضي الله عنه - قال: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَجْسَادِكُمْ وَلَاإِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ؛ لَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ». وَأَشَارَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ»
38 - Status of heart’s action

1. God does not look at either your bodies or forms. 2. He only looks at your hearts. He pointed with his fingers to his chest.

Summary of Meaning
Neither body nor form nor appearance is of any importance. It is the heart that counts and whether it is full of faith or unbelief.
