Book 2: Invocation of the Prophet (pbuh)
Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 1006
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَّسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
Qutaibah narrated to us, (he said:) Mughirah bin Abdur Rahman told us. He narrated from Abuz Zinad, Abuz Zinad from A'raj, A'raj from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra), that when the Prophet (saw) raised his head from the last bowing (Ruku), he would say thus: “O Allah! Save Ayyash (ra) bin Abi Rabi'ah. O Allah! Save Salamah (ra) bin Hisham. O Allah! Save Walid (ra) bin Walid. O Allah! Rescue the weak Muslims. O Allah! Tread down severely upon Mudar. Make their years like the years of Hazrat Joseph (as).” The Prophet (saw) said: “May Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar, and may Allah keep the tribe of Aslam in safety.” The son of Abuz Zinad said, narrating from his father: All these supplications were made in the morning prayer. {Humaidi narrated to us, he said: Sufyan (Thauri) told us. He narrated from A'mash, A'mash from Abud Duha, Abud Duha from Masruq, Masruq from Hazrat Abdullah (bin Mas'ud (ra)).}

And Uthman bin Abi Shaibah also narrated to us, he said: Jarir (bin Abdul Hamid) told us. He narrated from Mansur, Mansur from Abud Duha, Abud Duha from Masruq, that he said: We were with Hazrat Abdullah (bin Mas'ud (ra)). He said: When the Prophet (saw) saw that the people were turning away, he said: “O Allah! A seven year famine, like the seven year famine that was sent in the time of Hazrat Joseph (as), (send it upon them).” So such a famine befell them that it destroyed everything, until at last they even ate hides, carrion and stinking corpses, and if any of them looked towards the sky, he saw nothing but smoke because of hunger. Abu Sufyan came to him (saw) and said: Muhammad (saw)! You command obedience to Allah, the Exalted, and the joining of the ties of kinship, and look, your people have perished. Pray to Allah for them. Allah, the Exalted, had said: “But watch thou for the day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke” (Qur’an 44:11) “but you will certainly revert to disbelief.” (Qur’an 44:16) “On the day when We shall seize you with the great seizure” (Qur’an 44:17). So this great seizure took place on the day of Badr. Thus the punishment of the smoke, the severe seizure, the prophecy of the inevitable (Lizam) and the prophecy concerning the Romans have all come to pass.
