Making Supplications with Decisiveness

SUMMARY: Supplications should be made with decisiveness and without any doubt that Allah will grant the request.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "When one of you supplicates, let him be decisive and he should not say: 'O Allah, bestow upon me such and such if You wish', because no one has the power to compel Him". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إذا دعا أحدكم، فليعزم المسألة، ولا يقولن‏:‏ اللهم إن شئت، فأعطني، فإنه لا مستكره له‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
