The answer

There is no prophetic hadith regarding the rectification of the inner and outer self. However, it was narrated from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Everything has an inner and an outer. So, whoever rectifies his inner self, Allah will rectify his outer self. And whoever corrupts his inner self, Allah will corrupt his outer self." Ibn al-Mubarak also narrated a similar saying from Salman. The meaning is that the soundness of one's inner self leads to the soundness of one's outer self.
