The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ الْقَلْبِ كَرِيشَةٍ بِأَرْضِ فَلَاةٍ يُقَلِّبُهَا الرِّيَاحُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
Abu Musa reported that God’s messenger said, “The heart is like a feather in desert country which the winds keep turning over and over.”
Ahmad transmitted it.
