2175. 'Abdullāh bin Khabbāb bin Al-Aratt narrated from his father: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ performed Salāt, making it long. They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! You have performed Salāt (in a manner) which you do not
ordinarily perform it.' He said: 'Yes, it was a prayer of hope and fear. In it I asked Allāh for three things. He granted me two, and withheld one from me. I asked Him that my Ummah not be destroyed by drought. He granted that. I asked Him that they not be overcome by enemies from other than them. He granted that. And I asked Him that some of them not suffer from the harm of others, and He withheld that.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
The Hadith proves that:
1. The Muslim nation as a whole shall not fall a prey to famine; partially, however, they might.
2. The entire Muslim population shall not be overcome by the enemy in a way that they are completely wiped out.
3. The community shall suffer internal dissensions and divisions resulting in acts of murder and plunder on a large scale.
