[Machine] "Do you not see the abundance of people's prayers and the scarcity of their answers? And do they not know why that is? That is nothing but because Allah does not accept except the sincere prayer. Abdul Rahman ibn Yazid said while sitting with them, 'If he says that, then Abdullah has indeed said that Allah does not hear from a complainer, nor from a joker, nor from a desirer, nor from a caller except a sincere prayer from his heart.'"
أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى كَثْرَةِ دُعَاءِ النَّاسِ وَقِلَّةِ الْإِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ؟ وَهَلْ يَدْرُونَ مِمَّ ذَلِكَ؟ وَمَا ذَاكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ لَا يَقْبَلُ إِلَّا الْفَاضِلَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَكَانَ جَالِسًا مَعَهُمْ لَئِنْ قَالَ ذَاكَ لَقَدْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ مِنْ مُسَمِّعٍ وَلَا مِنْ مُرَاءٍ وَلَا مِنْ لَاعِبٍ وَلَا مِنْ دَاعٍ إِلَّا دَاعٍ دُعَاءً ثَبْتًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ
