Hadith 12515

عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَرْبَعًا فَأَعْطَانِي ثَلَاثًا وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَجْمَعَ أُمَّتِي عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ كَمَا أَهْلَكَ الْأُمَمَ قَبْلَهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا“
It is narrated from the Companion of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: I made four supplications to my Lord; He accepted three of them and did not accept one. I supplicated to Allah Almighty that He would not gather my Ummah upon misguidance, and He accepted this supplication of mine. My second supplication was that, just as He destroyed the previous nations through famine, He would not destroy my Ummah in this way; He accepted this as well. And I also supplicated that He would not cause discord among my Ummah, but He did not accept this supplication of mine.
