[6772] 33 - (...) It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd said: "Umm Ḥabībah said: 'O Allāh, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and my father Abû Sufyân, and my brother Mu'âwiyah (all my life).’ The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to her: ‘You have asked Allâh about lifespans that have already been determined, steps (every move) it is decreed you will take, and provisions that have already been allotted. Nothing will happen before its due time, and nothing will be delayed beyond its due time. If you had asked Allâh to protect you from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave, that would have been better for you.’ “A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allâh, monkeys and pigs, are they among those who were transformed?’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Allâh does not destroy a people or punish a people and grant them offspring. Monkeys and pigs existed before that.’”

33 - (2663) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَجَّاجٍ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا وقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ: حَدَّثَنَا - عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ، عَنْ مَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ: اللهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِي بِزَوْجِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَبِأَبِي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَبِأَخِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّكِ سَأَلْتِ اللهَ لِآجَالٍ مَضْرُوبَةٍ، وَآثَارٍ مَوْطُوءَةٍ، وَأَرْزَاقٍ مَقْسُومَةٍ، لَا يُعَجِّلُ شَيْئًا مِنْهَا قَبْلَ حِلِّهِ، وَلَا يُؤَخِّرُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ حِلِّهِ، وَلَوْ سَأَلْتِ اللهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ، وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَكِ» قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْقِرَدَةُ وَالْخَنَازِيرُ، هِيَ مِمَّا مُسِخَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يُهْلِكْ قَوْمًا، أَوْ يُعَذِّبْ قَوْمًا، فَيَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ نَسْلًا، وَإِنَّ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَازِيرَ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ»
