وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ ؓ قَالَ:
خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى حَرَّةِ بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَاتَّبَعْتُ أَثَرَهُ، حَتَّى ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهَا، فَصَلَّى الضُّحَى ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ طَوَّلَ فِيهِنَّ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: يَا حُذَيْفَةُ: طَوَّلْتُ عَلَيْكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ ﷺ: إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ، وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً: سَأَلْتُهُ أَلَّا يُظْهِرَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي غَيْرَهَا، فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَلَّا يُهْلِكَهَا بِالسِّنِينَ، فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَلَّا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهَا بَيْنَهَا، فَمَنَعَنِيهَا

✧ The Prophet ﷺ went out to the Harrah of Banu Mu‘awiyah, and I followed his tracks until he appeared upon it. Then he prayed the Duha prayer, eight rak‘ahs, making them long. He ﷺ said: “O Hudhayfah, did I make it long for you?” I said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He ﷺ said: “I asked Allah, Mighty and Majestic, three things concerning it, and He granted me two and withheld one. I asked Him not to let any other nation prevail over my Ummah, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to destroy it by years of drought, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to make its might (war) among themselves, and He withheld it from me.”
