باب بيان أنه يستجاب للداعي ما لم يعجل فيقول دعوت فلم يستجب ليSupplication Is Answered Unless One Hurries and Says: I Prayed but Was Not Answered
Hadith 1742
اُردوEn
1742 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: يُسْتَجَابُ لأَحَدِكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ يَقُولُ: دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي
Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The supplication of a servant is accepted as long as he does not become hasty and say, "I made supplication but it was not accepted."
Brief Explanation
It is not correct to be hasty regarding the acceptance of supplication (dua). If the supplication is made with sincerity of heart and the conditions and etiquettes of supplication are observed, then it will certainly be accepted sooner or later. Even if it does not appear to be accepted outwardly, it will become a treasure for the Hereafter. (Raaz)
