'Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As reported:
Verily the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) recited the words of Allah, the Great and Glorious, that Ibrahim uttered. "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind. But whoso follows me, he verily is of me" (al-Qur'an, 14:36)
and Jesus (peace be upon him) said: "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (al-Qur'an, 5:118).
Then he raised his hands and said: "O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah," and wept;
so Allah the High and the Exalted said: "O Gabriel, go to Muhammad (though your Lord knows it fully well) and ask him: What makes thee weep?"
So Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to him and asked him, and the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) informed him what he had said (though Allah knew it fully well).
Upon this Allah said: O Gabriel, go to Muhammad and say: "Verily We will please you with regard to your Ummah and would not displease you."
[Sahih Muslim]
