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."'
