HASTAINESS IN DU’A (SUPPLICATION)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) narrated: A servent is granted an answer provided he does not ask for anything sinful or for breaking ties of relationship, and provided he does not demand an answer quickly.” On being asked what demanding an answer quickly meant, ALLAAH’s Messenger replied, “It is when he says he has prayed and prayed and does not think he will be answered so he grows weary in such circumstances and gives up supplication.
