حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا دَعَوْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاعْزِمُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعْطِنِي، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا مُسْتَكْرِهَ لَهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “When you call on Allah, be definite in your supplication. None of you should say, ‘If You will, give it to me.’ No one can force Allah.”
