A servant's asking his Lord, and that He does not disappoint him

Abu Uthman said that Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Surely Allah is ashamed that His servant should spread out his hands to Him and ask for good with them, and that his Lord should then send them back disappointed."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Surely Allah gives respite until a third of the night has passed. Then Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and says: 'Is there anyone seeking forgiveness? Is there anyone repenting? Is there anyone supplicating? Is there anyone asking?' until the dawn breaks."

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah says: "O My servants, all of you are sinners except the one to whom I have granted well-being, so ask Me for forgiveness and I will forgive you. Whoever knows that I have the power to forgive him, I will forgive him, and I will not mind. O My servants, all of you are astray except the one whom I have guided, so ask Me for guidance and I will guide you. O My servants, all of you are poor except the one whom I have made rich, so ask Me and I will give you."
