Musnad Abi Ya'la 5313 — Sayyidah Umm Habibah supplicated

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) supplicated (before Allah): 'Allahumma barik li fi zawji Rasulillah, wa bi-abi Abi Sufyan, wa bi-akhi Mu'awiyah' (O Allah, bless me in my husband, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), in my father Abu Sufyan and in my brother Mu'awiyah). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have asked Allah Almighty about terms that are already fixed, provisions that have already been allotted, and spans of life that are to be reached; none of these will come before its appointed time. Had you asked Allah to protect you from the punishment of the Fire or the punishment of the grave, that would have been better and more excellent for you." The narrator relates that then monkeys were mentioned (and I think pigs were also mentioned), whether they were those who had been transformed among the Children of Israel. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever Allah Almighty destroyed (transformed) a people, He left them no offspring or descendants, whereas monkeys and pigs existed even before that (incident of the Children of Israel)."
