Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31187 — Those who said when you supplicate
٣١١٨٧ - حدثنا يحيى بن آدم عن حمزة الزيات عن أبي إسحاق عن سعيد بن جبير عن ابن عباس عن أبي بن كعب قال: كان رسول اللَّه ﷺ إذا دعا لأحد بدأ (بنفسه) (١)، فذكر ذات يوم موسى فقال: "رحمة اللَّه علينا وعلى موسى، لو كان صبر لقص اللَّه علينا من خبره، ولكن قال: ﴿إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِّي عُذْرًا﴾ " (٢) [الكهف: ٧٦].
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for anyone, he would begin with himself. One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned Sayyiduna Musa and said: "May the mercy of Allah Almighty be upon us and upon Musa. Had he been patient, Allah Almighty would have related to us more of his affairs. But he said: 'If I ask you about anything after this, do not keep me with you; you have certainly received from me an excuse.'"
