Riyad as-Salihin 1743 (Book 17, Hadith 233) #38232
Supplicating with Confidence and Persistence

SUMMARY: Supplications should be made with full confidence and persistence, as no bounty is too great for Allah to bestow.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "You must not supplicate: 'O Allah! forgive me if You wish; O Allah bestow mercy on me if You wish'. But beg from Allah with certitude for no one has the power to compel Allah". Al-Bukhari and Muslim Another narration of Muslim is: "A supplication should be made in full confidence and one should persistently express his desire (before Allah) in his supplication, for no bounty is too great for Allah to bestow (upon his slaves)".
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏"‏لا يقولن أحدكم‏:‏ اللهم اغفر لي إن شئت‏:‏ اللهم ارحمني إن شئت، ليعزم المسألة، فإنه لا مكره له‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏وفي رواية لمسلم‏:‏ ‏"‏ولكن ليعزم، وليعظم الرغبة، فإن الله تعالى، لا يتعاظمه شيء أعطاه‏"‏‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages us to make supplications to Allah with full confidence and persistence. We should not doubt that our supplications will be answered, as no bounty is too great for Allah to bestow upon His slaves. We must have faith that if we ask from Him, He will answer us in the best way possible. This hadith also teaches us that we should never give up hope when making du’a, even if it seems like our prayers are not being answered right away. Instead of saying “O Allah! forgive me if You wish; O Allah bestow mercy on me if You wish”, we should express our desire before Him in a confident manner and persistently make du’a until it is answered.
