Hadith 4092
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
Umm Habeebah said: O Allah, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Mu'awiyah (all my life). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You have asked Allah about lifespans that have already been determined, days that have already been counted and provisions that have already been allotted. Allah will never do anything before its due time or delay it beyond its due time. If you had asked Allah to grant you refuge from punishment in the Fire or punishment in the grave, that would have been better and preferable.” He said: And mention of monkeys was made in his presence. Mis’ar said: I think he said: And pigs - from what were they transformed? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah, may Hic be glorified and exalted, never gives those who have been transformed offspring. Monkeys - and I think he said: and pigs - existed before that."
