Hadith 475
475/607 عن أبي هريرة، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " إذا دعا أحدكم، فلا يقول: إن شئت، وليعزم المسألة، وليعظم الرغبة فإن الله لا يعظم عليه شيء أعطاه".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you makes supplication, he should not say, '(O Allah) if You will, then grant it,' but he should supplicate with determination and increase his request, for nothing is too great for Allah to give."
Hadith 476
476/608 عن أنس قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : " إذا دعا أحدكم، فليعزم في الدعاء، ولا يقل: [وفي رواية: إذا دعوتم الله فاعزموا في الدعاء ولا يقولن أحدكم/659) اللهم إن شئت فأعطني، فإن الله لا مستكره له".
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you supplicates, he should do so with full determination, and he should not say (and in one narration: When you supplicate to Allah, supplicate with full determination, and none of you should say): 'O Allah! If You wish, give me,' because there is no one who can compel Allah."
