عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: يُستجاب لأحدكم ما لم يَعْجَلْ: يقول: قد دعوت ربي، فلم يستجب لي». وفي رواية لمسلم: «لا يزال يُستجاب للعبد ما لم يَدْعُ بإثم، أو قطيعة رحم، ما لم يَسْتَعْجِلْ» قيل: يا رسول الله ما الاستعجال؟ قال: «يقول: قد دعوت، وقد دعوت، فلم أر يستجب لي، فَيَسْتَحْسِرُ عند ذلك ويَدَعُ الدعاء».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake- hadithi Marfu'u: "Hujibiwa mmoja wenu anapokuwa hajafanya haraka: anasema: Nimemuomba Mola wangu, na wala sijaona ananijibu mimi" Na katika riwaya ya Muslim: "Hatoacha kuendelea kujibiwa mja madam tu hajaomba dhambi, au kukata ukoo na madam hajafanya haraka" pakasemwa: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu ni kupi kufanya haraka? akasema: "Anasema: Nimeomba, hakika nimeomba, wala sijaona ananijibu, akakata tamaa na wakati huo akaacha kuomba".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The supplication of one of you is answered, as long as he is not in haste, saying: ‘I have supplicated to my Lord, but He did not answer me.'" In another narration by Muslim: “The supplication of a slave will continue to be answered, as long as he does not ask for a sin or sever a tie of kinship, and is not hasty.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is hastiness?” He said: “It is to say: 'I have supplicated and supplicated, but I have not seen it has been answered.' He would then lose hope and stop supplicating.”
