Say O Muhammad (s) to the people of Mecca ‘My Lord would not be concerned with you mā is for negation were it not for your supplications to Him when you are in adversity which He then removes. But why should He be concerned with you when you have denied the Messenger and the Qur’ān and so that the chastisement will remain binding’ permanently bound to you in the Hereafter in addition to what will befall you in this world; and so on the day of Badr seventy of them were slain the response to the conditional lawlā ‘were it not for …’ is indicated the preceding words.

When one of you makes a supplication (to his Lord) one should not say: O Allah, grant me pardon, if Thou so likest, but one should beg one's (Lord) with a will and full devotion, for there is nothing so great in the eye of Allah which He cannot grant.
The Prophet said: “The supplication, is worship.” Then he recited: And Your Lord said: “Call upon me, I will respond to you. Verily, those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter Hell humiliated."
None of you should say to Allah (like this): O Allah, grant me mercy, if thou so likest. The supplication (of his) should (be permeated with) conviction (that it would be accepted by the Lord), for Allah is the Doer of (everything) He likes to do, and there is none to force Him (to do or not to do this or that).
Don't you know what your Lord said? He observed: I have never endowed My bondsmen with a favor, but a section amongst them disbelieved it and said: Stars, it was due to the stars.
the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "Indeed the supplication is the worship." Then he recited: "And your Lord said: Invoke Me, I will respond to you."
