[Machine] My father told me, and he was one of the companions of the tree, and Abu Muslim Al-Khashshy narrated to us, as well as Ali ibn Al-Madinii narrated to us, and Marwan ibn Muawiyyah narrated to us, and Muhammad ibn Al-Abbas Al-Muaddib narrated to us, as well as Sa'id ibn Sulayman Al-Wasity narrated to us, and Abbadi ibn Al-Awam narrated to us, all of them narrated from Abu Malik Al-Ashja'i, who narrated from Nafi' ibn Khalid Al-Khuzai, who narrated from his father, and he was one of the companions of the tree. He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer one day. He performed the prayer and then sat down, prolonging his sitting. When he finished and stood up, we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you prolonged your sitting in the prayer.' He said, 'Indeed, it was a prayer of desire and awe. I asked Allah three things in it, and He granted me two while preventing me from one. I asked Him not to afflict you with a punishment similar to the punishment that afflicted the nations before you, and He granted it to me. I asked Him not to send upon you an enemy that would attack you, and He granted it to me. I asked Him not to make you dispute and cause harm to one another, and He prevented me from it.'"
