Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you wishes for something, he should look to what he desires. He does not know what he will be given."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يَتَمَنَّى فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا يُعْطَى

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Let one of you look at what it is that he wishes for. For verily, he does not know what of his wish shall be recorded.’”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِيَنْظُرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا الَّذِي يَتَمَنَّى فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا يُكْتَبُ لَهُ مِنْ أُمْنِيَّتِهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Let one of you look at what it is that he wishes for. For verily, he does not know what of his wish shall be recorded.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3604g)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يَتَمَنَّى فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا يُكْتَبُ لَهُ مِنْ أُمْنِيَّتِهِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When one of you desires something, let him consider what he wishes for, for he does not know what is written for him in his wish."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا الَّذِي يَتَمَنَّى فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا الَّذِي يُكْتَبُ لَهُ مِنْ أُمْنِيَّتِهِ

"إذا تمنى أحدُكم فلينظرْ ما يتمنّى فإنَّه لا يدْرى ما يكُتبُ له من أمُنيّته ".
