Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you makes a wish, he should consider what he is wishing for, for he does not know which of his wishes has been written down as his lot."
Imam Ahmad and Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this narration, and the narrators of Imam Ahmad's chain are the narrators of the Sahih.
