Abu Musa reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: When Allaah, the Exalted and Glorious, intends to show mercy to an Umma from amongst His servants He calls back His Prophet to his eternal home and makes him a harbinger and recompense in the world to come; and when He intends to cause destruction to an Umma, He punishes it while its Prophet is alive and He destroys it as he (the Prophet) witnesses it and he cools his eyes by destruction as they had belied him and disobeyed his command.
