Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29680

Abu Musa Al-Ansari narrated to us, Muadh bin Muadh narrated to us, on the authority of Abu Ka’b, the owner of silk, Shahr bin Hawshab narrated to me, he said I told Umm Salamah O Mother of the Believers, what was the most frequent supplication of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he was with you. She said: “The most frequent of his supplications was, ‘O Muqlib! Hearts: Make my heart steadfast in your religion. She said: I said, O Messenger of God, how many supplications do I make so many of you, O the converter of hearts? Make my heart steadfast in your religion. He said: “O Umm Salamah, there is no human being except that his heart is between two of God’s fingers, so whoever wishes remains, and whoever wishes deviates.” So he recited. Muadh: (Our Lord, do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us.) He said, and in the chapter on the authority of Aisha, Al-Nawwas bin Samaan, Anas, Jabir, and Abd. Allah bin Amr and Nu’aym bin Hamar. He said, “This is a good hadith.”
