قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَ رَبَّهُ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ فَلْيَيْأَسْ مِنَ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ وَ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ رَجَاءٌ إِلَّا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا عَلِمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, altogether from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al Minqary, from Hafs Bin Giyas who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When one of you intends that he should not ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> for anything except that He<sup>azwj</sup> would Give it to him, so let him despair from the people, all of them, and there should not happen to be any hope for him except with Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. So when Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Knows that from his heart, he would not ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> for anything from except that He<sup>azwj</sup> would Give it to him’.
