وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ: «يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ» فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ آمَنَّا بِكَ وَبِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ فَهَلْ تَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللَّهِ يُقَلِّبُهَا كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Anas reported that God’s messenger often said, “O Thou who turnest the hearts about, establish my heart in Thy religion.” Anas said, “Prophet of God, do you fear for us who believe in you and in your message?” He replied, “Yes. The hearts are between two of God’s fingers and He turns them about as He wills.” Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Takhrij:

[سنن ابن ماجه 3834]
Hadith Authentication: The chain of narration for this report is weak.
● The explicit statement of hearing (sama‘) from Abu Mu‘awiyah al-Darir is present in Musnad Ahmad [112/3ح 12107], but Sulaiman bin Mihran al-A‘mash is a mudallis, and this narration is from «عن», therefore this chain is weak.
● There are numerous supporting narrations (shawahid) for the marfu‘ hadith in this report, by which it is hasan sahih, but for the phrase “Do you fear for us?” there is no authentic (sahih) or hasan supporting narration. «والله أعلم»
