1484. It was reported from Abū ‘Ubaid, from Abū Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “You will be responded to, as long as you are not hasty — that you say: ‘I have supplicated, but no response has been given to me.’” (Sahih)
1484 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يُسْتَجَابُ لِأَحَدِكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ دَعَوْتُ، فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي "

Supplications are answered in a variety of ways. 1. One may get what he has asked for; 2. Or one may get what they asked for later, the reason of delay being some hidden wisdom unknown to the person; 3. Or Allāh may ward off some evil from him or give him something else instead; 4. Or his prayer may be stored for him to be rewarded in the Hereafter when he shall be in need of it the most.
