مسند أبي إسحاق سعد بن أبي وقاص (1) رضي الله عنه
Hadith 8:135
'Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us, from 'Uthman, who said: 'Amir ibn Sa'd informed me, from his father: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came one day from Al-'Aliyah, until when he passed by the mosque of Banu Mu'awiyah, he entered and prayed two rak'ahs in it, and we prayed with him. He supplicated to his Lord for a long time, then he turned to us and said: "I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two and withheld one from me. I asked my Lord not to destroy my nation by famine, and He granted it to me. I asked Him not to destroy my nation by drowning, and He granted it to me. And I asked Him not to make their violence among themselves, but He withheld it from me."
حدثنا عبد الله بن نمير، عن عثمان، قال: أخبرني عامر بن سعد، عن أبيه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أقبل ذات يوم من العالية، حتى إذا مر بمسجد بني معاوية دخل، فركع فيه ركعتين، وصلينا معه ودعا ربه طويلا، ثم انصرف إلينا، فقال: " سألت ربي ثلاثا فأعطاني اثنتين، ومنعني واحدة، سألت ربي: أن لا يهلك أمتي بسنة فأعطانيها، وسألته: أن لا يهلك أمتي بالغرق فأعطانيها، وسألته أن لا يجعل بأسهم بينهم فمنعنيها "
