The Meaning of the Hadith of the Call of Dhun-Nun and Not Stating the Matter Explicitly

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith states that
There is no god but You; glory be to You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers. No Muslim ever said it in a supplication except that Allah answered it for him.لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين ما قالها مسلم في دعوة إلا استجاب الله له
. Does this mean that the servant should refrain from explicitly stating his request and merely repeat this supplication?

Answer:
He should explicitly state his request and repeat this supplication along with mentioning his request.
