Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31121 — Firmness in supplication

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let none of you say: 'If You will, then forgive me.' Rather, let him have firm conviction in his supplication, for surely no one can compel Allah."
