حَدَّثَنَا مُطَّلِبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي هانِي الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَرْبَعًا فَأَعْطَانِي ثَلَاثًا وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُجْمِعَ أُمَّتِي عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ كَمَا أَهْلَكَ الْأُمَمَ قَبْلَهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا وَلَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: “I asked my Lord for four things, and He gave me three and withheld one. I asked Him that my Ummah not unite upon misguidance, and He granted it to me. I asked Him that He not destroy them with years of famine as He destroyed the nations before them, and He granted it to me. I asked Him that He not let an enemy from other than themselves overcome them, and He granted it to me. I asked Him that He not make them into factions, nor let them taste one another’s violence, but He withheld it from me.”
