أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَبَقِيَّةُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ
عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ رَاقَبَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي لَيْلَةٍ صَلَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى كَانَ مَعَ الْفَجْرِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ جَاءَهُ خَبَّابٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتَ اللَّيْلَةَ صَلَاةً مَا رَأَيْتُكَ صَلَّيْتَ نَحْوَهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَلْ إِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَغَبٍ وَرَهَبٍ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي فِيهَا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَنَا بِمَا أَهْلَكَ بِهِ الْأُمَمَ قَبْلَنَا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْنَا عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِنَا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَنَا شِيَعًا فَمَنَعَنِيهَا

✧ From his father, who had witnessed Badr with Allah's Messenger ﷺ, that he watched Allah's Messenger ﷺ on a night when Allah's Messenger ﷺ prayed the entire night until dawn. When Allah's Messenger ﷺ finished his prayer, Khabbab came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, tonight you prayed a prayer the like of which I have never seen you pray." Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "Indeed, it is a prayer of hope and fear. I asked my Lord during it for three qualities: He granted me two and withheld one. I asked my Lord not to destroy us as He destroyed the nations before us, and He granted me that. I asked my Lord not to let an enemy from outside us prevail over us, and He granted me that. I asked my Lord not to divide us into factions, but He withheld that."
