Warning Against Hurrying in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2735c It was said: O Messenger of Allah! What is hurrying? He said: Sahih Muslim 2735c Does this apply to one who said that in his heart? Please guide us in light of this question?
Answer:
The believer should beware of this. This is something the believer should not do. Rather, he should strive in supplication, persist, and hope for a response; for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is Wise and All-Knowing. He may delay the response for a benefit for you, so that you continue in supplication, earn reward for your supplication, and be rewarded for it. And through this supplication, you turn to Allah, perform righteous deeds, and guard against evil deeds, so you benefit from this supplication because you strove in righteous deeds and stayed away from evil deeds. Thus, this became good for you; this supplication and this need became good for you. So do not be weary; persist in supplication, even if the response is delayed. And beware of sins that may hinder the response, and severing family ties as well.
The point is: that a person supplicates to Allah, strives in supplication, and does not become weary. He does not say: I supplicated but I was not answered. He is patient... he is patient... he is patient... The response may be delayed for a profound wisdom.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The supplication of the servant is granted in case he does not supplicate for sin or for severing the ties of blood, or he does not become impatient
يستجاب للعبد ما لم يدع بإثم، أو قطيعة رحم ما لم يستعجلThat he should say like this: I supplicated and I supplicated but I did not find it being responded. and theu he becomes frustrated and abandons supplication.
يقول: قد دعوت فلم يستجب لي، فيستحسر عند ذلك، ويدع الدعاءAnswer:
The believer should beware of this.
The servant is answered as long as he does not hurry; he says: I supplicated and supplicated but I do not see it being answered, so he becomes despondent and gives up supplication.
يستجاب للعبد ما لم يستعجل؛ يقول: دعوت ودعوت فلم أره يستجاب لي، فيستحسر، ويدع الدعاءThe point is: that a person supplicates to Allah, strives in supplication, and does not become weary. He does not say: I supplicated but I was not answered. He is patient... he is patient... he is patient... The response may be delayed for a profound wisdom.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
