萨阿德·伊本·阿比·瓦卡斯传述：安拉的使者ﷺ曾到访班·穆阿维耶清真寺。“他ﷺ进入寺中，做了两拜，我们与他一同礼拜，然后他ﷺ长时间地向他的主祈求。之后，他ﷺ转向我们，说：‘我曾向我的主祈求三件事：祂应允了我两件，拒绝了一件。我向我的主祈求不要以普遍的饥荒毁灭我的民族，祂应允了我；我请求祂不要让我的民族因溺水而全部灭亡，祂应允了我；我还请求祂不要让他们的纷争发生在彼此之间，但祂拒绝了我。’”293 另一则传述中写道：“安拉确已为我卷起大地，直到我看见了它的东方与西方，我民族的统治将到达为我所卷起的一切之处。我已被赐予两宝藏：红色与白色（黄金与白银）。我祈求我的主不要以普遍的饥荒毁灭我的民族，也不要让外敌来侵袭他们并将他们全部消灭。我的主说：‘穆罕默德啊，当我决定一件事，它便无法被挡回。我已为你的民族允诺：我不以普遍的饥荒毁灭他们，也不让外敌来侵袭并消灭他们——即使大地各方的人都联合起来对付他们。然而，他们最终会互相残杀，彼此奴役。’当我的民族中刀剑出鞘，它便不会从他们身上撤离，直到复活日。”294

Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ  narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم once visited the mosque of Banū Mu‘āwiyah. “He صلى الله عليه وسلم entered, performed two units of prayer, which we prayed with him, and then he invoked his Lord for a long time. Then, he صلى الله عليه وسلم turned to us and said, ‘I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two and withheld one. I asked my Lord not to destroy my nation with a widespread famine, and He granted me that, and I asked Him that He not exterminate my nation by drowning, and He granted me that. And I asked Him that He not let their aggression be against one another, but He withheld that from me.’”293 In another narration, “Indeed, Allah has gathered the earth for me until I saw its east and its west, and the kingdom of my nation will reach whatever of it has been gathered up for me. And I have been given the two treasures; the red and white (gold and silver). And I asked my Lord that He not destroy it with a widespread famine, and that He not empower against them an external enemy that will annihilate them. My Lord said, ‘O Muhammad, when I decree a matter, it cannot be repelled. I have granted you, for your nation, that I do not destroy them with a widespread famine, and that I do not empower against them an external enemy that annihilates them—even if those from every corner of the earth unite against them. However, they will ultimately kill one another, and enslave one another.’ Once the sword is drawn within my nation, it will not be removed from them until the Day of Resurrection.’”294
