Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ وَلَكِنْ لِيَعْزِمْ الْمَسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مُكْرِهَ لَهُ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you should say, 'O Allah, forgive me if You will,' 'O Allah, have mercy on me if You will,' but let him be resolute in his request, for there is no one who can compel Him."
