رَجَاءٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ , عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ , عَنْ
مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ , قَالَ : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا صَلَاةً فَأَطَالَ فِيهَا , فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ , قُلْنَا : أَوْ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَطَلْتَ الْيَوْمَ الصَّلَاةَ , قَالَ : " إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ , سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِأُمَّتِي ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ , وَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ وَاحِدَةً , سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا , وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَهُمْ غَرَقًا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا , وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ " .
´It was narrated that Mu’adh bin Jabal said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one day, and made the prayer lengthy. When he finished we said (or they said): ‘O Messenger of Allah, you made the prayer lengthy today.’ He said: ‘I offered a prayer of hope and fear. I asked Allah for three things for my nation, and He granted me two and refused one. I asked Him not to let my nation be destroyed by enemies from without, and He granted me that. And I asked Him not to let them be destroyed by drowning, and He granted me that. And I asked Him not to let them be destroyed by fighting among themselves, but He refused that.’”
