[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to move his lips after the Fajr prayer with something we did not see him doing before. So we said, "O Messenger of Allah, we see you doing something that you did not do before. What is it that moves your lips?" He said, "Indeed, a prophet among those who came before you was amazed by the large number of his followers, so he said, 'These people will not be harmed by anything.' So Allah revealed to him to give his nation one of three choices: either He would send upon them an enemy from outside to dominate them, or He would send upon them a severe famine, or He would send upon them death, so they consulted among themselves and said, 'We cannot bear an enemy, nor can we bear hunger, but death, so death was sent upon them and seventy thousand of them died within three days.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Now, since they have become numerous, O Allah, I strive by You, I wrestle by You, and I fight by You.'"
