Hadith 943
Sayyiduna Nawas bin Sam'an (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Every (person's) heart is between two fingers of the Most Merciful. If He wills, He keeps it firm, and if He wills, He turns it away." The narrator states: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Turner of the hearts, keep our hearts firm upon Your religion." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: "The balance is in the hand of the Most Merciful. He grants honor to one nation and lowers others. This will continue until the Day of Resurrection."
