2775. It was reported from ‘Āmir bin Sa’d from his father, who said: “We went out with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ from Makkah headed for Al-Madīnah. When we arrived near ‘Azwarā, he dismounted, then raised his hands supplicating to Allāh for a time, and then he prostrated and stayed like that for a long time. Then he stood up, and raised his hands and supplicated to Allāh, the Exalted, for a time, and then he prostrated and stayed like that for a long time. Then he stood up and raised his hands for a time, then prostrated” — Aḥmad (one of the narrators) mentioned it three times. "He then said: 'I asked my Lord and interceded for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated out of gratitude to My Lord. Then I raised my head and asked my Lord for my people, and He gave me one third of my people, so I prostrated out of gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and asked my Lord for my people, and He gave me the last third of my people, so I prostrated out of gratitude to My Lord.'" (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: Ash'ath bin Ishāq omitted Ahmad bin Sāliḥ when he narrated it to us. Mūsā bin Sahl Ar-Ramlī narrated it to us from him.
