[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ used to pray the Asr prayer, he would whisper, and his whispering in the words of some of them would move his lips as if he were speaking about something. It was said to him, "O Prophet of Allah, do you whisper when you pray the Asr prayer?" He replied, "Indeed, there was a prophet among the prophets who was amazed at his nation, so he said, 'Who will take care of these people?' Then Allah revealed to him to choose between avenging them or letting their enemies prevail over them, so they chose vengeance. So Allah inflicted death upon them, and seventy thousand of them died in one day."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ هَمَسَ وَالْهَمْسُ فِي قَوْلِ بَعْضِهِمْ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْءٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْعَصْرَ هَمَسْتَ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَانَ أَعْجَبَ بِأُمَّتِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَقُومُ لِهَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَأَوْحَى الله ﷻ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ خَيِّرْهُمْ بَيْنَ أَنْ أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْهُمْ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ فَاخْتَارُوا النِّقْمَةَ فَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَوْتَ فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا
