حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ بُسْرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي النَّوَّاسُ بْنُ سَمْعَانَ الْکِلَابِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ قَلْبٍ إِلَّا بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنْ شَائَ أَقَامَهُ وَإِنْ شَائَ أَزَاغَهُ وَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَا مُثَبِّتَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَی دِينِکَ قَالَ وَالْمِيزَانُ بِيَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَرْفَعُ أَقْوَامًا وَيَخْفِضُ آخَرِينَ إِلَی يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 199
Nawwâs bin Sam’ân AlKilabi said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h say: ‘There is no heart that is not between two of the Fingers of the Most Merciful. if He wills, He guides it and if He wills, He sends it astray.’ The Messenger of Allah used to say: ‘0 You Who makes hearts steadfast, make our hearts steadfast in adhering to Your religion.’ And he said: ‘The scale is in the Hand of the Most Merciful; He will cause some peoples to rise and others to fall untll the Day of Resurrection.” (Sahih)
