Musnad Ahmad 10494 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ , عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ , اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ , لِيَعْزِمْ الْمَسْأَلَةَ , قَالَ : لَا مُكْرِهَ لَهُ " . قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ : كَذَا كَانَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي مُبَيَّضٌ , " وَلَا يُمْنَعُ فَضْلُ الْمَاءِ , لِيُمْنَعَ بِهِ فَضْلُ الْكَلَإِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you makes supplication, he should not say, "O Allah! If You wish, forgive me," but rather he should pray with determination and certainty, for there is no one who can compel Allah. And surplus water should not be withheld so that grass may be prevented from growing.
