عَن أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، ارْزُقْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، وَليَعْزِمْ مَسْأَلَتَهُ، إِنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ، لاَ مُكْرِهَ لَهُ». ولمسلم: «وَلَكِنْ لِيَعْزِمِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ وَلْيُعَظِّمِ الرَّغْبَةَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَتَعَاظَمُهُ شَيْءٌ أَعْطَاهُ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- kutoka kwa Mtume -rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Asiseme mmoja wenu: Ewe Mwenyzi Mungu nisamehe ukitaka, nirehemu ukitaka, niruzukua ukitaka, na adhamirie maombi yake, kwani yeye anafanya ayatakayo, hakuna wa kumlazimisha". Na katika Sahihi Muslim: "Lakini adhamirie kuomba, na shauku yake iwe kubwa, kwa sababu Mwenyezi Mungu hakuna kinachofanywa kuwa kikubwa kwake ila hutoa".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should say: O Allah, forgive me if You will, have mercy on me if You will, and grant me sustenance if You will. Let him be determined in his request, for indeed, He does what He wills; none can compel Him.". A version by Muslim reads: "Instead, let him supplicate with resolve and express his desire strongly, for indeed, nothing is too great for Allah to give."
