3497. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "None of you should say: 'O Allāh forgive me if You wish. O Allāh have mercy on me if You wish.' Let him be firm in asking, for there is none that can compel Him to do things." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
٣٤٩٧ - حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ: «لَا يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمُ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ»، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، لِيَعْزِمَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مُكْرِهَ لَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

One should be firm in asking from Him and be sure that his supplication will be responded positively. One should beg from Allāh ﷻ and leave it to Him to decide what is better for His slave.
