عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا لَمْ يَسْتَعْجِلْ " . قَالُوا : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَعْجِلُ ؟ ! قَالَ : " يَقُولُ : قَدْ دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِي " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ أَبُو هِلَالٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ ، وَفِيهِ خِلَافٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِ أَحْمَدَ وَأَبِي يَعْلَى رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A servant remains in a state of good so long as he is not hasty." The people asked: "O Prophet of Allah, how is he hasty?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He says: 'I supplicated to my Lord, but He did not answer my supplication at all.'"
Ahmad recorded it, and Abu Ya'la recorded something similar, and al-Bazzar and Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat also recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abu Hilal al-Rasibi, who is thiqah (trustworthy), though there is disagreement about him; the rest of the narrators of Ahmad and Abu Ya'la are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " مَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلَّا آتَاهُ إِيَّاهَا ، أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا ، مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمِ ، أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ ، مَا لَمْ يُعَجِّلْ " . قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا اسْتِعْجَالُهُ ؟ قَالَ : " يَقُولُ : قَدْ دَعَوْتُ ( وَدَعَوْتُ ) فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي " ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : إِذًا نُكْثِرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ " . قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ بِاخْتِصَارِ اسْتِعْجَالِ الدُّعَاءِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) transmits this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whatever supplication any Muslim on the face of the earth makes to Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty either grants him that thing or holds back from him an evil equal to it, so long as he has not supplicated for a sin or for severing family ties, and so long as he is not hasty." The people asked: "What is meant by his being hasty?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He says: 'I supplicated and I supplicated, but it was not answered at all.'" A man among those present said: "O Messenger of Allah, then we should do so (i.e. supplicate) abundantly." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty is more abundant (in grace and generosity)." (Allamah Haythami says:) I say:
