It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
Umm Habeebah, the daughter of Abu Sufyan, said: O Allah, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Mu'awiyah (all my life). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You have asked Allah about lifespans that have already been determined, days that have already been counted and provisions that have already been allotted. Allah will never do anything before its due time or delay it beyond its due time. If you had asked Allah to grant you refuge from punishment in the Fire or punishment in the grave, that would have been better or preferable.” He said: And mention of monkeys was made in his presence. Mis’ar said: And pigs, which were transformed. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah never gives those who have been transformed offspring. Monkeys and pigs existed before that."
