Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ آمَنَّا بِكَ وَبِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ فَهَلْ تَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُقَلِّبُهَا.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Sufyan, from Anas, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would often say: "O Turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have believed in you and in what you brought — do you fear for us?" He said: "Yes, hearts are between two of the fingers of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and He turns them as He wills."
