The questioner says, may Allah keep you safe: What is the ruling on conditioning supplication with the will of Allah? Is it disliked? Is it prohibited? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2679b
Answer:
So you supplicate to Allah and do not say, “O Allah, forgive me if You will,” or “O Allah, provide for me if You will,” or “O Allah, heal me if You will.” Do not say this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The questioner says, may Allah keep you safe: What is the ruling on conditioning supplication with the will of Allah? Is it disliked? Is it prohibited? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
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).
