And from the chapter (1) the ailments that prevent the effect of supplication upon him: that the servant should hurry, and be impatient for the response, so he becomes tired and leaves the supplication, while he is like one who sowed the seeds or planted the seedlings, and he tended to it and watered it, but when he was impatient with its completion and attaining it, he left it and neglected it!

(2) And in the authentic Bukhari (2) from the narration of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "It is accepted for one of you as long as he does not hurry, he says: 'I have called, but did not get answered to me.'"}]}{
