Mukhtasar Muslim

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Allah Almighty’s statement about Ibrahim (peace be upon him): “O my Lord (Deity), they have indeed led many people astray. So whoever follows me, he is of me, and whoever disobeys me, then surely You are Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Surah Ibrahim: 36) And the statement of Isa (peace be upon him) (which is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an): “If You punish them, they are Your servants, and if You forgive them, then surely You are the Mighty, the Wise.” Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) raised both his hands and said: O my Lord! My ummah, my ummah. And he began to weep. Allah Almighty said: O Jibril! Go to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and your Lord knows best, but go and ask him why he is weeping. Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him and asked: Why are you weeping? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) explained everything. Jibril then went back to Allah Almighty and informed Him, though He already knew best. Allah Almighty said: O Jibril! Go to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and say: We will surely please you concerning your ummah and will not displease you.
