6338. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه : Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "When anyone of you appeal to Allāh for something, he should ask with determination and should not say, 'O Allāh, if You wish, give me', for nobody can force Allāh to do something against His Will."
6338 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَعْزِمِ المَسْأَلَةَ، وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعْطِنِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ مُسْتَكْرِهَ لَهُ "
