Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm al-Ḥanẓalī and Ḥajjāj ibn al-Shāʿir narrated to us—and the wording is that of Ḥajjāj—Isḥāq said: ʿAbd al-Razzāq informed us, and Ḥajjāj said: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, from al-Thawrī, from ʿAlqamah ibn Marthad, from al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Yashkurī, from Maʿrūr ibn Suwayd, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, who said: Umm Ḥabībah said: "O Allah, let me enjoy my husband, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and my father Abū Sufyān, and my brother Muʿāwiyah." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her: "You have asked Allah for appointed terms, trodden paths, and apportioned provisions—nothing of which is hastened before its time, nor is anything of it delayed beyond its time. If you had asked Allah to protect you from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave, that would have been better for you." He said: Then a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, are the apes and swine among those who were transformed?" The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, did not destroy a people—or punish a people—and then make for them descendants. Rather, the apes and swine existed before that."
