Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ ابْنَةُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمْتِعْنِي بِزَوْجِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِأَبِي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَبِأَخِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكِ سَأَلْتِ اللَّهَ لِآجَالٍ مَضْرُوبَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَأَرْزَاقٍ مَقْسُومَةٍ لَنْ يُعَجَّلَ شَيْءٌ قَبْلَ حِلِّهِ أَوْ يُؤَخَّرَ شَيْءٌ عَنْ حِلِّهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتِ سَأَلْتِ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعِيذَكِ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ كَانَ أَخْيَرَ أَوْ أَفْضَلَ قَالَ وَذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ الْقِرَدَةُ قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ وَالْخَنَازِيرُ إِنَّهُ مِمَّا مُسِخَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَمْسَخْ شَيْئًا فَيَدَعَ لَهُ نَسْلًا أَوْ عَاقِبَةً وَقَدْ كَانَتْ الْقِرَدَةُ أَوْ الْخَنَازِيرُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Waki’ told us, from Mis’ar, from Alqamah ibn Marthad, from al-Mughirah ibn Abdullah al-Yashkuri, from al-Ma’rur ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah, who said: Umm Habibah, daughter of Abu Sufyan, said, "O Allah, let me enjoy my husband, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Mu’awiyah." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to her, "You have asked Allah for fixed terms, numbered days, and allotted provisions; nothing will be hastened before its due time, nor delayed past its due time. Had you asked Allah to shelter you from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave, that would have been better or more excellent." He said: And apes were mentioned in his presence — Mis’ar said: I think he said, "and pigs" — as being among what had been transformed, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Allah did not transform anything and leave for it offspring or descendants; the apes or pigs existed before that."
