[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he returned from the Battle of Tabuk and performed Umrah, when he descended from the Thaniyyah of 'Usfan, he commanded his companions to rely on the rock until he returned to them. He went and stayed at the grave of his mother and supplicated to his Lord for a long time. Then, he started crying and his weeping intensified. These people also started crying due to his weeping and they said, "Messenger of Allah, why are you crying in this place, unless you have announced something to your Ummah that they cannot bear?" When these people cried, he rose and returned to them and said, "What makes you cry?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we cried because of your weeping. We thought that you had announced something to your Ummah that they cannot bear." He said, "No, and some of them have occurred, but I went to my mother's grave and supplicated to Allah to allow me to seek intercession for her on the Day of Resurrection. Allah refused to grant me permission, so I cried. Then, Gabriel, ﷺ , came to me and said, "Ibrahim's seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he disowned him." So you have disowned your mother as Ibrahim disowned his father. I sought forgiveness for her and pleaded to my Lord to save my Ummah from four things, and He granted me two and refused to grant me the other two. I pleaded that my Ummah should not be afflicted by famine and drought, but He granted me only removal of famine and drought. I pleaded that my Ummah should not be defeated by their enemies, but He removed defeat and granted victory. I pleaded that my Ummah should not be afflicted by stoning from the sky and sinking of the earth, and He removed both. But He refused to remove two, the killing and internal strife among themselves." He returned to the grave of his mother and stayed there much longer than before.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكٍ وَاعْتَمَرَ فَلَمَّا هَبَطَ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ عُسْفَانَ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَنِدُوا إِلَى الْعَقَبَةِ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَذَهَبَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى قَبْرِ أُمِّهِ فَنَاجَى رَبَّهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ بَكَى فَاشْتَدَّ بُكَاؤُهُ وَبَكَى هَؤُلَاءِ لِبُكَائِهِ وَقَالُوا مَا بََكََى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِهَذَا الْمَكَانِ إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أُمَّتِهِ شَيْئًا لَا يُطِيقُهُ فَلَمَّا بَكَى هَؤُلَاءِ قَامَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَا يُبْكِيكُمْ؟» قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ بَكَيْنا لِبُكائِكَ قُلْنَا لَعَلَّهُ أَحْدَثَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ شَيْئًا لَا يُطِيقُهُ قَالَ لَا وَقَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُ وَلَكِنْ نَزَلْتُ عَلَى قَبْرِ أُمِّي فَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِي فِي شفاعَتِها يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَبَى اللهُ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِي فَرَحِمْتُهَا وَهِيَ أُمِّي فَبَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ} فَتَبَرَّأَ أَنْتَ مِنْ أُمِّكَ كَمَا تَبَرَّأَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ فَرَحِمْتُهَا وَهِيَ أُمِّي وَدَعَوْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي أَرْبَعًا فَرَفَعَ عَنْهُمِ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْهُمِ اثْنَتَيْنِ دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْهُمُ الرَّجْمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْغَرِقَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَأَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا وَأَنْ لَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَرَفَعَ اللهُ عَنْهُمُ الرَّجْمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْغَرِقَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَأَبَى اللهُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْهُمِ اثْنَتَيْنِ الْقَتْلَ وَالْهَرْجَ وَإِنَّمَا عَدَلَ إِلَى قَبْرِ أُمِّهِ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مدفونةٌ تَحْتَ كَذَا وكَذَا وَكَانَ عُسْفَانَ لَهُمْ
