Hadith 976
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " لا يَزَالُ يُسْتَجَابُ لِلْعَبْدِ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ ، أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ ، مَا لَمْ يَسْتَعْجِلْ " . قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا الاسْتِعْجَالُ ؟ قَالَ : " يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُ ، وَقَدْ دَعَوْتُ ، فَمَا أَرَاكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِي ، فَيَدَعُ الدُّعَاءَ " .
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 answered, as long as he does not pray for something sinful or for severing the 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, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: "It is when he says, 'O my Lord! I have prayed, then I have prayed, but I think You have not answered my supplication.' Then he gives up supplicating."
