حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي، إِنْ شِئْتَ لِيَعْزِمَ الْمَسْئَلَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مُكْرِهَ لَهُ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should say: 'O Allâh, forgive me if You wish; O Allâh, be Merciful to me if You wish,' but he should always appeal to Allâh with determination, for nobody can force Allâh تعالى to do something against His Will." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 351, Vol. 8 )
