حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَعْبٍ، صَاحِبُ الْحَرِيرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا كَانَ أَكْثَرَ دُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 (١) ، إِلَّا وَقَلْبُهُ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا شَاءَ أَقَامَ، وَمَا شَاءَ أَزَاغَ ". قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: سَأَلْتُ أَبِي: عَنْ أَبِي كَعْبٍ؟ فَقَالَ: " ثِقَةٌ، وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ، ، ابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to frequently supplicate: "O Allah, Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, are hearts also turned?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, Allah has created the heart of every human being between two of His fingers. If He wills, He keeps it straight, and if He wills, He turns it aside."
