Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَعْزِمْ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَلَا يَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعْطِنِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا مُسْتَكْرِهَ لَهُ.
English Translation
Isma'il told us, Abd al-Aziz told us, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you supplicates, let him be resolute in the supplication, and let him not say, 'O Allah, if You will, grant me,' for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, cannot be compelled by anyone."
