Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As reported that he heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 Allaahs Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: 0 Allaah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience.
