حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ إِبْطُهُ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ مَسْأَلَةً إِلاَّ آتَاهَا إِيَّاهُ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ عَجَلَتُهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَقُولُ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ وَسَأَلْتُ وَلَمْ أُعْطَ شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَزْهَرَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ يُسْتَجَابُ لأَحَدِكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ يَقُولُ دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏
“There is not a worshipper who raises his hands, such that his armpit becomes visible, asking Allah for something, except that He shall grant it to him - as long as he does not become hasty.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, and how is haste made concerning it?” He (ﷺ) said: “He says: ‘I did ask and ask, and I was not given a thing.’”
Narrated by Abu Hurairah narrated the the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
