إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَعْلَمُ مَا يُرِيدُ الْعَبْدُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ تُبَثَّ إِلَيْهِ الْحَوَائِجُ فَإِذَا دَعَوْتَ فَسَمِّ حَاجَتَكَ . وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ قَالَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَعْلَمُ حَاجَتَكَ وَ مَا تُرِيدُ وَ لَكِنْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ تُبَثَّ إِلَيْهِ الْحَوَائِجُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Abdullah Al Fara’a, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Knows what the servant wants when he supplicates to Him<sup>azwj</sup>, but He<sup>azwj</sup> Loves it that the need be transmitted to Him<sup>azwj</sup>. Therefore, whenever you supplicate, so specify your need’. And in another Hadeeth, he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Knows your need and what you want, but He<sup>azwj</sup> Loves it that the need be transmitted to Him<sup>azwj</sup>’.
