Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2140

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often say: Ya Muqallibal-qulub, thabbit qalbi 'ala dinik('O Changer of the Hearts! Strengthen my heart upon Your Religion.)' So I said: 'O Prophet of Allah! We believe in you and what you have come with, but do you fear for us?' He said: 'Yes. Indeed the hearts are between two Fingers of Allah's Fingers, He changes them as He wills.'"

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَعَائِشَةَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَهَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَصَحُّ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: On this topic there are also narrations from al-Nawwās b. Samʿān, Umm Salamah, ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr and ʿĀʾishah. This is a good (ḥasan) hadith. In the same way more than one narrator reported it from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Sufyān, from Anas. Some of them reported it from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Sufyān, from Jābir, from the Prophet ﷺ. The hadith of Abū Sufyān from Anas is more authentic (aṣaḥḥ). Report a problem
