حَدَٔثَنَا مُحَمُد بْنُ سَلَٔامِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَ نَاَ اإِسْمَاعِیْلُ بْنُ عُلَیَٔۃَ، عَنْ عَبْدالْعَزِیْذِ بْنِ صُھَیْب، عَنْ أَنسِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللہِ ﷺ:((اإِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُکُمْ فلْیَعْزِمْ فِي الدُٔعاءَ، وَلَا یَقُلِ : اللٔھَٔمَُٔ اإِنْ شِثْتَ فَأَ عْطِیِنْی، فَاإِنَٔ اللہَ لَا مُسْتْکرِہَ لَہُ))
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 608
Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When one of you makes a supplication, he should be firm in the supplication and not say, 'O Allah, if you like, give to me.' Allah cannot be forced against His will."
