[Machine] "Umm Habiba, the daughter of Abu Sufyan. O Allah, bless me with my husband, the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and with Abu Sufyan and my brother Muawiyah." The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to her, "Indeed, you have called upon Allah for known periods, allotted provisions, and inevitable consequences. Nothing of them will be hastened before its time, nor delayed after its due. If you had called upon Allah to grant you good health or sought refuge in Him from the punishment of the Hellfire or the punishment of the grave, it would have been better or more virtuous."

0 Allah, enable me to derive benefit from my husband, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and from my father Abu Sufyan and from my brother Mu'awiya. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: You have asked from Allah about durations of life already set, and the length of days already allotted and the sustenances the share of which has been fixed. Allah would not do anything earlier before its due time, or He would not delay anything beyond its due time. And if you were to ask Allah to provide you refuge from the torment of the HellFire, or from the torment of the grave, it would have good in store for you and better for you also. He (the narrator) further said: Mention was made before him about monkeys, and Mis'ar (one of the narrators) said: I think that (the narrator) also (made a mention) of the swine, which had suffered metamorphosis. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Verily, Allah did not cause the race of those which suffered metamorphosis to grow or they were not survived by young ones. Monkeys and swine had been in existence even before (the metamorphosis of the human beings).
