The Prophet ﷺ said: “When one of you supplicates, let him be firm in the asking, and not say ‘O Allah, give me if You wish,’ for none can compel Him.” (al-Bukhārī & Muslim). And do not rush: “Your duʿā is answered so long as you are not hasty, saying ‘I supplicated and was not answered.’” (al-Bukhārī).

العربية: عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: «إذا دعا أحدكم فليعزم المسألة، ولا يقولنّ: اللهم إن شئتَ فأعطني، فإنه لا مُستكرِه له». (البخاري ومسلم).

Ask Allah with certainty and persistence — never with ‘if You will,’ and never despair of the answer.
