حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْعَدْلُ ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِالسِّنِينَ فَأَعْطَانِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِي

✧ I asked my Lord for three things, and He granted me two and withheld one. I asked Him not to destroy my nation by years of famine, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to set over them an enemy from other than themselves, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to make them into factions and make some of them taste the might of others, and He withheld that from me.
