Musnad Abi Ya'la 2318 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often make this
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ : كَانَ يَقُولُ : يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، تَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا ، وَقَدْ آمَنَّا بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بَيْنَ ، وَأَشَارَ الْأَعْمَشُ بِإِصْبَعَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would often make this supplication: 'Ya Muqallib al-qulub, thabbit qalbi 'ala dinik' (O Turner of hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion). We said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Do you have some fear for us, even though we have believed in the revelation and law that you have brought?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, all hearts are between two fingers (of the fingers of Allah)," and the narrator of the hadith, al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him), explained it by pointing with his two fingers.
