“I said to Umm Salamah: ‘O Mother of the Believers! What was the supplication that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said most frequently when he was with you?” She said: ‘The supplication he said most frequently was: “O Changer of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion (Yā Muqallibal-qulūb, thabbit qalbī ʿalā dīnik).’” She said: ‘So I said: “O Messenger of Allah, why do you supplicate so frequently: ‘O Changer of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.’ He said: ‘O Umm Salamah! Verily, there is no human being except that his heart is between Two Fingers of the Fingers of Allah, so whomsoever He wills He makes steadfast, and whomever He wills He causes to deviate.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3522)
قُلْتُ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا كَانَ أَكْثَرَ دُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَكِ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ دُعَائِهِ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَكْثَرَ دُعَاءَكَ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ؟ قَالَ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ آدَمِيٍّ إِلَّا وَقَلْبُهُ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللهِ ﷻ مَا شَاءَ أَقَامَ وَمَا شَاءَ أَزَاغَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ سَأَلْتُ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي كَعْبٍ؟ فَقَالَ ثِقَةٌ وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ
