It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

Umm Habeebah 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, provisions that have already been allotted and limits that have already been set. Nothing will be done before its due time or delayed after 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 for you." A man said: O Messenger of Allah, monkeys and pigs, are they (descendents of) those who were transformed (as a punishment)? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah does not transform a people or cause their doom, then give them offspring. Monkeys and pigs existed before that."
