The Prophet ﷺ recited the words of Allah , "My Lord, indeed they have led astray many among the people. So whoever follows me, then he is of me" [Ibrahim 14:36]. He then raised his hands and said, "O Allah, my nation, my nation," and wept.Allah
said, "Jibreel, go to Muhammad, though your Lord knows best, and ask him what makes him weep."Jibreel
came to him and asked him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him what he had said, though Allah knew best.Allah said, "Jibreel, go to Muhammad and say, 'We shall please you concerning your nation and shall not grieve you.'"
أن النبي ﷺ تلا قوله عز وجل: {رب إنهن أضللن كثيرا من الناس فمن تبعني فإنه مني} [إبراهيم: ٣٦]، فرفع يديه وقال: اللهم أمتي أمتي بكى. فقال الله عز وجل: يا جبريل، اذهب إلى محمد ربك أعلم فسله ما يبكيك؟ فأتاه جبريل عليه السلام فسأله، فأخبره رسول الله ﷺ بما قال-وهو أعلم-. فقال الله: ياجبريل، اذهب إلى محمد فقل: إنا سنرضيك في أمتك ولا نسوءك.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Faith (202) from Yunus bin Abdul-Ala Sadafi, who said, Ibn Wahb informed us, who said, Amr bin Harith informed me, that Bakr bin Sawada narrated to him from Abdul-Rahman bin Jubayr, from Abdullah bin Amr bin As, and he related it.
