Hadith #52
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ الْعَالِيَةِ حَتَّى
إِذَا مَرَّ بِمَسْجِدِ بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ دَخَلَ فَرَكَعَ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ وَدَعَا رَبَّهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِالْغَرَقِ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا

English Translation
'Amir ibn Sa'd narrated from his father (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came one day from al-'Aliyah. When he passed by the mosque of Banu Mu'awiyah, he entered and prayed two rak'ahs, and we prayed with him. He supplicated to his Lord for a long time, then turned to us and said: 'I asked my Lord for three things, and He granted me two and withheld one. I asked my Lord not to destroy my Ummah by famine, and He granted it to me. I asked Him not to destroy my Ummah by drowning, and He granted it to me. And I asked Him not to make their might against one another, but He withheld that from me.'
