[6770] 32 - (2663) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "Umm Habîbah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: 'O Allāh, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and my father Abū Sufyān, and my brother Mu'āwiyah (all my life).' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'You have asked Allāh about lifespans that have already been determined, days that have already been counted and provisions that have already been allotted. Allāh will never do anything before its due time or delay it beyond its due time. If you had asked Allāh to grant you refuge from punishment in the Fire or punishment in the grave, that would have been better or preferable.' Mention of monkeys was made in his presence. Mis'ar said: "I think he also mentioned pigs, which were transformed." He said: "Allāh never gives those who have been transformed offspring. Monkeys and pigs existed before that."

32 - (2663) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ -، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اللهُمَّ أَمْتِعْنِي بِزَوْجِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَبِأَبِي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَبِأَخِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدْ سَأَلْتِ اللهَ لِآجَالٍ مَضْرُوبَةٍ، وَأَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ، وَأَرْزَاقٍ مَقْسُومَةٍ، لَنْ يُعَجِّلَ شَيْئًا قَبْلَ حِلِّهِ، أَوْ يُؤَخِّرَ شَيْئًا عَنْ حِلِّهِ، وَلَوْ كُنْتِ سَأَلْتِ اللهَ أَنْ يُعِيذَكِ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ، أَوْ عَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ، كَانَ خَيْرًا وَأَفْضَلَ» قَالَ: وَذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَهُ الْقِرَدَةُ، قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ: وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ: وَالْخَنَازِيرُ مِنْ مَسْخٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِمَسْخٍ نَسْلًا وَلَا عَقِبًا، وَقَدْ كَانَتِ الْقِرَدَةُ وَالْخَنَازِيرُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ»
