Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33856 — What Allah the Exalted gave Muhammad

Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came one day from the upper districts of Madinah. When he passed by the mosque of Banu Mu'awiyah, he entered it and prayed two rak'ahs, and we prayed with him, and he made a long supplication to Allah. Then he turned to us and said: I made three requests of my Lord. Allah accepted two of them and refused to accept one. I asked my Lord not to destroy my Ummah by famine, and Allah accepted this. I asked Him not to destroy my Ummah by the punishment of drowning, and He accepted this too. And I asked Him to save them from fighting one another, and this supplication He turned back.
