Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A servant's supplication continues to be accepted as long as he does not pray for something sinful or for severing ties of kinship, and as long as he does not show impatience." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What does showing impatience mean?" The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: "It is when he says, 'I prayed but my supplication was not accepted,' and thus he becomes disheartened and stops supplicating."
