وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
« دَعَا نَبِيٌّ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجُوعَ قَالَ: لَا. قِيلَ لَهُ: أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُلْقِيَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَسُلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الطَّاعُونُ مَوْتًا دَقِيقًا، يَحْرِقُ الْقُلُوبَ، وَيُقِلُّ الْعَدَدَ

✧ "A prophet supplicated against his nation, and it was said to him, 'Would you like me to inflict famine upon them?' He said, 'No.' It was said to him, 'Would you like me to cast their might between them?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Then the plague was inflicted upon them as a precise death, burning hearts and reducing numbers.'"
