"خَرَجَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِلَى حَرَّة بَنِى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَاتَّبَعْتُ أَثَرَهُ حَتَّى ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهَا، فَصَلَّى الضُّحَى ثَمَانَى رَكَعَاتٍ طوَّلَ فيهِنَّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ: يَا حُذَيْفَةُ طَوَّلْتُ عَلَيْكَ؟ قُلْتُ: الله وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَم، قَالَ: إِنِّى سَأَلتُ الله فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا فَأَعطَانِى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَمَنَعنِى وَاحِدَةً: سَأَلْتهُ أَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَى أُمَّتِى غَيْرهَا فَأَعطَانِيها، وَسَأَلْتهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَهَا بِالسِّنينَ فَأَعطَانِى، وَسَأَلْتهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأسَهَا بَيْنَها فَمَنَعَنِى".

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to the lava field (ḥarrah) of Banū Muʿāwiyah, and I followed his trail until he went up onto it. He prayed the forenoon prayer (ḍuḥā) of eight rakʿahs, in which he prolonged the standing, then he finished. He said: 'O Ḥudhayfah, did I make it long for you?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'I asked Allah three things concerning it; He gave me two and withheld one from me. I asked Him not to let anyone other than them gain mastery over my Ummah, and He gave me that. I asked Him not to destroy it with years of famine, and He gave me that. And I asked Him not to make their might be among themselves, and He withheld that from me.'"
