ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيبُ دُعَاءَ مَنْ رَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ أَوْ يَسْتَعْجِلِ الْإِجَابَةَ، فَيَتْرُكُ الدُّعَاءَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ يُسْتَجَابُ لِلْعَبْدِ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ مَا لَمْ يَسْتَعْجِلْ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يَسْتَعْجِلُ؟ قَالَ «* قَدْ دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي فَيَنْحَسِرُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَتْرُكُ الدُّعَاءَ»
