[Machine] Rather, it is a testimony, mercy, and invitation from your Prophet, Muhammad ﷺ . O Allah, grant Mu'adh and his family their portion of Your mercy." Abu Qilabah said, "I knew what testimony and mercy mean, but I did not know what the invitation of your Prophet meant until I was informed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, one night while he was praying, 'Plague or fever, plague or fever, plague or fever, three times.' When it became morning, a man from his family said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, I heard you last night making a supplication.' He said, 'And did you hear it?' The man said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I asked my Lord that my Ummah not be destroyed by a year of famine, and He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to let an enemy from other than them gain power over them and subjugate them, and He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to make their enemies from among themselves, which would enable them to inflict harm on one another, and He refused me this or, perhaps, He prevented me from it. So I said, 'Plague or fever, plague or fever, plague or fever' three times.'"
