Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَهِشَامٍ وَيُونُسَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ دَعَوَاتٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكْثِرُ أ
َنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَا يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تُكْثِرُ تَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قَلْبَ الْآدَمِيِّ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَزَاغَهُ وَإِذَا شَاءَ أَقَامَهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to frequently supplicate: 'O Turner of hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.' I asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, you supplicate so frequently with this supplication.' He replied: 'The heart of the son of Adam is between two of Allah's fingers; when He wills, He causes it to deviate and when He wills, He keeps it upright.'"
