Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً قَالَ ارْكَبْهَا قَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ قَالَ ارْكَبْهَا وَيْحَكَ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'When one of you supplicates, let him be resolute in his asking, and let him not say: O Allah, if You will, grant me. For no one can compel Allah.'
