Such a pure heart will be successful on the Day of Judgment. And if someone does not have such a heart, it is quite possible that Allah Almighty may not look upon them with mercy, and the one upon whom Allah Almighty does not look with mercy is deserving of Hell.

Which of these three is better? The person whose anger comes slowly and quickly subsides. And
