حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَال : سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ رَاشِدٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةً فَأَطَالَهَا ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً لَمْ تَكُنْ تُصَلِّيهَا ، قَالَ : أَجَلْ " إِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا ، فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً ، سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ .
´'Abdullah bin Khabbab bin Al-Aratt narrated from his father:` "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) performed Salat, making it long. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah! You have performed Salat (in a manner) which you do not ordinarily perform it.' He said: 'Yes, It was a prayer of hope and fear. In it I asked Allah for three things. He granted me two, and withheld one from me. I asked him that my Ummah not be destroyed by drought. He granted that. I asked him that they not be overcome by enemies from other then them. He granted that. And I asked him that some of them not suffer from the harm of others, and He withheld that."'

Explanation:
1:
That is, two of my supplications were accepted for my ummah, and the third supplication was not accepted. It is as if this ummah will always be afflicted by the turmoil and corruption spread by its own people, and the people of this ummah will themselves destroy and kill one another. The purpose of the hadith is that the people of the ummah should not make themselves deserving of this.

1639. Commentary:
➊ Generally, one should not stay awake the entire night, because this leads to physical weakness. It is possible that then one may not even remain capable of performing obligatory acts. However, occasionally or on specific nights, it is permissible to stay awake the whole night. Most likely, this is the intent of the Imam rahimahullah in the heading of the chapter.
➋ It is Allah’s wisdom that He did not accept the last supplication. Just as disbelief and falsehood have never been completely eradicated in any era, similarly, differences and sectarianism can also never be entirely eliminated. If it were possible for differences to end, then such a sacred and selfless group as the Companions radi Allahu anhum would not have differed among themselves. However, it is necessary that differences should not be turned into enmity; rather, if the difference is with good intention, it should be tolerated. In any case, every person has the right to live in this world, so there should be no extremism. If differences can be resolved through mutual understanding, that is very good; otherwise, they should be left to Allah’s decision. It is not necessary to fight, issue verdicts of disbelief (takfir), or resort to killing and fighting on their basis. These things are for those who do not profess the testimony of Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam at all. It is astonishing that instead of fighting disbelievers, war is waged against Islamic sects. May Allah protect us from this.
➌ The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was extremely compassionate and merciful towards his ummah.
