حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ”إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَعْزِمْ فِي الدُّعَاءِ ، وَلا يَقُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعْطِنِي ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا مُسْتَكْرِهَ لَهُ .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you supplicates, he should do so with firm resolve, and he should not say: O Allah, if You wish, grant it to me. Surely, there is no one who can compel Allah."
