وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَقُول إِنَّ قُلُوبَ بَنِي آدَمَ كُلِّهَا بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ من أَصَابِع الرَّحْمَن كقلب وَاحِد يصرفهُ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الله مُصَرِّفَ الْقُلُوبِ صَرِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAs reported that the Messenger of God said, “The hearts of all the children of Adam are between two fingers of the Most Merciful, like a single heart; He turns them wherever He wills.” Then the Messenger of God said, “O God, Turner of hearts, turn our hearts toward obedience to You.” Muslim transmitted it.
