"إِنَّها صلاةُ رَغْبةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ سأَلتُ اللَّه فيها ثلاثَ خِصَالٍ فأَعطانِى اثنتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِى واحدةً، سأَلْتُه أَلَّا يُسْحِتَكُمْ بعذاب أَصابَ مَنْ كانَ قبْلكُمْ فأَعْطَانيهَا؛ وسأَلْتُه أَلا يُسلِّطَ على بيْضتِكُمْ عدوّا فيجتاحَهَا فأعْطَانيهَا، وسأَلْتُهُ أَلَّا يُلْبِسَكُم شيعًا ويذيقَ بعضَكُم بأسَ بعْضٍ فمَنَعَنيها" .

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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."'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I asked my Lord three things, and He granted me two of them and withheld one. I asked Him to not destroy my ummah (community) through famine, and He granted it to me. I asked Him to not let them be ruled by enemies other than themselves, and He granted it to me. And I asked Him to not let them be divided among themselves and to not make them taste the pain inflicted by one another, and He withheld it from me."

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I asked my Lord ﷻ for four ˹things˺. So he granted me three ˹of them˺ and denied me one ˹of them˺:

(1) I asked Allah ﷻ to not gather my Ummah upon misguidance, and he granted it to me, and

(2) I asked Allah ﷻ to not have ˹the Ummah˺ be overcome by an enemy other than themselves, and he granted it to me, and

(3) I asked Allah ﷻ to not have ˹ the Ummah˺ be destroyed by plagues similar to nations before them, and he granted it to me, and

(4) I asked Allah ﷻ to not to have ˹the Ummah˺ be splintered into groups have that they ˹not˺ taste affliction from each other, and he denied it to me." (Using translation from Aḥmad 27224)
