Hadith 2663 Part C

0 Allah , enable me to derive benefit from my husband , Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and from my father Abu Sufyan , and from my brother Mu'awiya. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to her : Verily , you have asked Allah about the durations of life already set , and the steps which you would take , and the sustenances the share of which is fixed. Nothing would take place earlier than its due time , and nothing would be deferred beyond that when it is due. So , if you were to ask Allah about your safety from the torment of Hell-Fire and from the torment of the grave , it would have been better for you. A person said : Allah's Messenger , what about those apes and swine which suffered metamorphosis ? Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said : Verily , Allah , the Exalted and Glorious , did not destroy a people or did not torment a people , and let their race grow. Apes and swine had been even before that (when the deniers of truth were tormented and suffered metamorphosis).
