حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شَیْبَۃَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الْفُدَیْکِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِيْ عَبْدُاللہِ بْنُ مَوْھَبٍ، عَنْ عَمَّہِ عُبَیْدِاللہِ، عَنْ أَبِيْ ھُرَیْرَۃَ ؓ ، عْنِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: ((مَا مِنْ مُوْمَنٍ یَنْصِبُ وَجْھَہُ إلَی اللہِ یَسْأَلُہُ مَسْأَلَۃًً، إِلَّا أَعْطَاہُ إِیَّاھَا، إِمَّا عَجَّلَھَا لَہُ فِي الدُّنْیَا ، وَإِمَّا ذَخَرَ ھَا لَہُ فِي اْلَا خِرَۃٍ مَالَمْ یُعَجِلُ)) قَالُوْا: یَارَسُوْلَ اللہِ! وَمَا عَجَلَتُہُ؟ قَالَ: ((یَقُوْلُ :وَ دَعَوْتُ ،وَدَعَوْتُ ، وَلَا أُرَاہُ یُسْتَجَابُ لِيْ))۔
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 711
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No believer turns his face to Allah and asks Him for something but that He gives it to him, either by giving it to him sooner in this world or storing it up for him in the Next World, as long as he does not try to make it come quickly." They asked, "Messenger of Allah, what does 'making it come quickly' mean?" He said, "He says, 'I asked and asked and do not think that I will be answered.'"
