It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, for four things for my Ummah; He granted me three and withheld one from me. I asked Him that my Ummah should not (collectively) fall into disbelief all at once, and He granted me that; I asked Him not to set over them an enemy from other than themselves (from outside), and He granted me that; I asked Him not to send upon them the punishment by which He destroyed the nations before them, and He granted me that; and I asked Him not to make their fighting be among themselves, and He withheld that from me."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Suddi (may Allah have mercy on him) except Asbat (may Allah have mercy on him), and al-Anqazi (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
