Hadith
There is a hadith about the mosque in Sahih Muslim. It is noted that Amir bin Sa'dari said that when the Prophet Muhammad returned from Al-Aliyah, he passed the Bani Muawiyah Mosque, entered there and prayed for two rakats, and his companions also followed him. He prayed for a long time, then turned toward the companions and spoke about three wishes he requested to God, in which two of them, saving people from famine and flooding were fulfilled, but the last wish regarding the ending of strife among the people was not. According to the isnad (chain of narrations) from Malik and Abdullah bin Jabir bin Atik, Ibnu Umar said that war, slander and strife would continue until the Day of Judgement.[2]
