Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As RA reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate Lord as one heart. He turns that to any (direction) He likes. Then Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him) said: 0 Allah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience. (Muslim - Book 33, Hadith 6418)
