"مَا عَلى الأرضِ مُسْلمٌ يَدْعُو الله بدَعْوَة إِلا آتَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهَا، أَو صَرفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السَّوْءِ مثْلَهَا، مَا لَمْ يَدع بِمَأثَمٍ (*) أو قَطِيعَةِ رَحِم، مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ، قَالوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! وَمَا اسْتِعْجَالُهُ؟ قَال: يَقُولُ: قَدْ دَعَوْتُ وَدعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي، فَقَال رَجُلٌ: إِذَن يُكثِرُ. قَال: اللهُ أكَثَرُ".

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There is not a Muslim upon the earth who makes a duʿā’ to Allah with any supplication, except that Allah either (1) grants it to him, or (2) He turns away from him the like of it in evil; as long as he does not supplicate for something sinful, or the severing of the ties of kinship.”
So a man from the people said: “What if we increase [our duʿā’s]?” He ﷺ said: “[With] Allah is more.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلاَّ (١) آتَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهَا أَوْ (٢) صَرَفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا؛ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِمَأْثَمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ»
فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: إِذًا نُكْثِرَ؟ قَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ»
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۔»
