It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no Muslim on the face of the earth who asks Allah for anything in supplication except that Allah grants it to him, or averts from him an evil (hardship) like it in its place, as long as he does not supplicate for a sin or for the severing of family ties, and as long as he is not hasty."
The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by his being hasty?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He says: I supplicated again and again, but my supplication was not answered." At this a man among those present said: "O Messenger of Allah! Then we will supplicate abundantly." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah is even more (abundant in giving)."
