Riyad as-Salihin 1744
Abomination of saying: "Forgive me if you wish, O Allah!"
- وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "إذا دعا أحدكم، فليعزم المسألة، ولا يقولن: اللهم إن شئت، فأعطني، فإنه لا مستكره له" ((متفق عليه)).
Translation
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When one of you supplicates, let him be decisive and he should not say: 'O Allah, bestow upon me such and such if You wish', because no one has the power to compel Him." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
