(Book 15, Hadith 35) #35556
The Prophet's Dua for Believers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) making dua in a mosque of the Ansar and asking Allah to not make an enemy from among the non-believers triumph over the believers, not destroy them with bad harvests, and not make them fight amongst themselves.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir ibn Atik said that Abdullah ibn Umar had come to them in Bani Muawiya, one of the villages of the Ansar, and said, "Do you know where the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed in this mosque of yours? "I told him, "Yes," and I pointed out a place near where he was. He said, "Do you know the three things for which he made dua here?" I said "Yes". He said, "Tell me them then". I said, "He asked that He would not make an enemy from among the non- believers triumph over the believers and that He would not destroy the believers by bad harvests, and he was given both these things. And he asked that He would not make the believers fight among themselves, and that was refused". Ibn Umar said, "You have told the truth," and he added, "Turmoil will not cease until the day of rising".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فِي بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ - وَهِيَ قَرْيَةٌ مِنْ قُرَى الأَنْصَارِ - فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ مَسْجِدِكُمْ هَذَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ نَعَمْ وَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الثَّلاَثُ الَّتِي دَعَا بِهِنَّ فِيهِ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهِنَّ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ دَعَا بِأَنْ لاَ يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ وَلاَ يُهْلِكَهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ فَأُعْطِيَهُمَا وَدَعَا بِأَنْ لاَ يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمُنِعَهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَلَنْ يَزَالَ الْهَرْجُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of a time when Prophet Muhammad PBUH visited one of the mosques of Ansar and made dua for three things. He asked Allah SWT to protect believers from enemies who are non-believers, protect them from bad harvests, and also asked Him to prevent believers from fighting amongst themselves. Unfortunately, his last request was refused by Allah SWT but he was given assurance that turmoil will cease on the day of rising. This hadith teaches us about how important it is for us as Muslims to pray for our fellow brothers and sisters in faith so they can be protected against any harm or danger. It also reminds us that we should always strive towards unity within our community so we can remain strong against any external threats or challenges.
