[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray a light and complete prayer when people were around him. One day, he sat for a long time until some of us motioned to each other to be quiet because the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was receiving a revelation. When he finished, some of the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, you sat for a long time until some of us motioned to each other that a revelation was being sent down to you." He said, "No, but it was a prayer of desire and fear. I asked Allah in it three times and He gave me two of them and prevented me from one. I asked Him not to punish you with a punishment that He had inflicted upon those before you, and I asked Him not to allow an enemy to conquer you that would rule over you. He granted me both of those. And I asked Him not to cause divisions among your ranks and make them fight against each other, and He prevented me from that." I said to him, "Did your father hear this from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" He said, "Yes, I heard him say it and he counted them with his fingers, these ten fingers."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى وَالنَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ صَلَّى صَلَاةً خَفِيفَةً تَامَّةَ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَجَلَسَ يَوْمًا فَأَطَالَ الْجُلُوسَ حَتَّى أَوْمَأَ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ أَنِ اسْكُتُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَطَلْتَ الْجُلُوسَ حَتَّى أَوْمَأَ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ أَنَّهُ يُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ سَأَلْتُ اللهَ فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ عُذِّبَ بِهِ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَى عَامَّتِكُمْ عَدُوًّا يَسْتَبِيحُهَا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا» قُلْتُ لَهُ أَبُوكَ سَمِعَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَدَدَ أَصَابِعِي هَذِهِ الْعَشْرِ الْأَصَابِعِ
