Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 9900 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَر ، قََالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَة ، قََالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْعَلاء يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَقُولَنَّ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ ، وَلَكِنْ لِيُعْظِمْ رَغْبَتَهُ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَتَعَاظَمُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ أَعْطَاهُ " .
It is narrated with the previous chain 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 will, forgive me," but rather he should make his desire great (and ask for much), for nothing that Allah gives is too great for Him.
