bu Musabbih Al-Maqraaiy (rahimahullah) relates: On one occasion, we were seated by Abu Zuhair An-Numairi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) who was from among the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum).

Sunnats and Aadaab of Duaa – Part 2
1. When making dua, do not adopt an approach of uncertainty. For example, do not say, “O Allah, if You wish to fulfil my need, then You may fulfil it.”
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “(When making dua,) one should not say ‘O Allah, forgive me if You wish, have mercy on me if You wish, provide me with sustenance if You wish.’ Rather, he should beg of Allah’s Ta‘ala mercy with confidence (that Allah Ta‘ala will fulfil his needs. One should not ask Allah Ta‘ala to grant one His favour if He pleases,) because Allah Ta‘ala does as He pleases, none can force and compel Him (to do anything).”
