Jami at-Tirmidhi 3497 (Book 48, Hadith 128) #29146
Asking Allah with Firmness

SUMMARY: We should ask Allah for forgiveness and mercy with firmness, as no one can force Him to do anything.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "None of you should say: 'O Allah forgive me if You wish. O Allah have mercy on me if You wish.’ Let him be firm in asking, for there is none that can compel Him to do things".
حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ لِيَعْزِمِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ مُكْرِهَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we ask Allah for forgiveness and mercy, we should do so with firmness. No one can force Allah to do anything; He is the All-Powerful and All-Knowing. Therefore, it is important that we have faith in His power and trust in His wisdom when making our supplications. We must also remember that He will answer our prayers according to His will; if He wishes to forgive us or show us mercy then He will do so of His own accord. It is not up to anyone else but Him alone.

This hadith also reminds us of the importance of having faith in Allah's power and wisdom when making supplications or asking for something from Him. We must remember that no matter how difficult a situation may seem, nothing is impossible for Him; if He wills it then it shall be done! Therefore, we should never give up hope or lose faith in His ability to answer our prayers according to what is best for us - even if the outcome isn't what we expected or wanted at first glance.
