He said: “I asked my Lord for three things: I asked Him not to let my ummah be destroyed by drowning, and He granted me that; I asked Him not to let my ummah be destroyed by famine, and He granted me that: and I asked Him not to let their enmity be amongst themselves, but He withheld that from me.”

When he finished, he said: “O my son, have you finished speaking?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “You have never been less likely to get what you need and I have never been less interested in you since I heard these words of yours.
