Acceptance of duʿāʾ and why it don't seem to be answered immediately
that the Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, without sin or cutting family ties, but that Allah will give him one of three answers: (1) He will quickly fulfill his supplication, (2) He will store it for him in the Hereafter, or (3) He will divert an evil from him similar to it.”
They said, “In that case we will ask for more.” The Prophet said, “Allah has even more.”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِثْمٌ وَلَا قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: (١) إِمَّا أَنْ تُعَجَّلَ لَهُ دَعْوَتُهُ، (٢) وَإِمَّا أَنْيَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، (٣) وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا۔»
قَالُوا إِذًا نُكْثِرُ، قَالَ: «اللهُ أَكْثَرُ۔»
