[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "Every heart is between two fingers of the fingers of the Most Merciful. He directs it as He wills. If He wants to establish it, He establishes it, and if He wants to mislead it, He misleads it." He also used to say, "O Turner of the hearts, make our hearts steadfast on Your religion. The scale is in the hand of the Most Merciful, He lowers it and raises it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ قَلْبٍ إِلَّا وَهُوَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُقِيمَهُ أَقَامَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُزِيغَهُ أَزَاغَهُ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى دِينِكَ وَالْمِيزَانُ بِيَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَخْفِضُهُ وَيَرْفَعُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to frequently make the following supplication: "O Turner of hearts, keep my heart steadfast on your religion." She (the narrator) said: So, I (also) said: O Messenger of Allah, indeed you frequently make this supplication. He (the Prophet) said: Verily, the heart of a person is between two fingers of Allah. So, He turns it as He wills, and He establishes it as He wills.  

دَعَوَاتٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَا يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ تُكْثِرُ تَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قَلْبَ الْآدَمِيِّ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللهِ ﷻ فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَزَاغَهُ وَإِذَا شَاءَ أَقَامَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to frequently say, "O Turner of hearts, make our hearts firm in Your religion." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you afraid for us even though we believe in you?" He said, "Indeed, the hearts of the children of Adam are between two fingers of the Most Merciful, like one heart. He turns them as He wills."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ «يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى دِينِكَ» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَقَدْ آمَنَّا بِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ قُلُوبَ بَنِي آدَمَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ يَقُولُ بِهِ هَكَذَا»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'There is no heart that is not between two of the Fingers of the Most Merciful. If He wills, He guides it and if He wills, He sends it astray.' The Messenger of Allah used to say: 'O You Who makes hearts steadfast make our hearts steadfast in adhering to Your religion.' And he said: 'The Scale is in the Hand of the Most Merciful; He will cause some peoples to rise and others to fall until the day of Resurrection.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 199)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمِيزَانُ بِيَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَرْفَعُ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضَعُ آخَرِينَ وَقَلْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِذَا شَاءَ أَقَامَهُ وَإِذَا شَاءَ أَزَاغَهُ» وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ»  

"عن شهر بن حوشب قال: قلت لأم سلمة: يا أم المؤمنين ما كان أكثر دعاء رسول الله ﷺ إذا كان عندك؟ قالت: كان أكثر دعائِه: يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلبي على دينك، ثم قال: يا أم سلمة! إنه ليس من آدمي إلا وقلبه بين أصبعين من أصابع الله - تعالى- ما شاء منها أقام وما شاء أزاغ".
