It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khabbab bin Al-Aratt, who was a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and participated in the Battle of Badr. He says: Once, I kept watch over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the entire night. He spent the whole night in prayer. When he finished the prayer at the time of Fajr, I came to him and said: May my parents be sacrificed for you, tonight you have performed such a prayer that I have never seen you pray like this before. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, this was a prayer of utmost longing and fear of Allah. I made three supplications to my Lord, the Exalted, and He accepted two and rejected one. I prayed to my Lord, the Exalted, that He would not destroy us with the punishments with which He destroyed the previous nations, and He accepted this supplication. And I prayed to my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, that He would not let our enemies prevail over us, and He accepted this supplication as well. And I prayed to my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, that He would not cause discord among us, but He did not accept this supplication.
