Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh. Is there something wrong with the phrase "May Allah reward you with good, if Allah wills," O Shaykh?
Answer:
One does not add a condition to the supplication. One says, “May Allah reward you with good,” or “May Allah forgive you,” without adding a condition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3497Sahih (Darussalam) Therefore, one does not add a condition to the supplication, but rather supplicates with certainty: “O Allah, forgive him,” “May Allah forgive you,” “May Allah have mercy on you,” “May Allah grant you success,” without adding a condition.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.

Answer:
One does not add a condition to the supplication. One says, “May Allah reward you with good,” or “May Allah forgive you,” without adding a condition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
None of you should say: ‘O Allah forgive me if You wish. O Allah have mercy on me if You wish.’ Let him be firm in asking, for there is none that can compel Him to do things.
