Hadith 608

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."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
The point is that one should supplicate to Allah Ta’ala with certainty of acceptance, believing that Allah Ta’ala will surely grant it. A supplication made with doubt and hesitation rarely reaches the level of acceptance, because Allah Ta’ala deals with the servant according to his assumption about Him.
