عَدَمُ خُلُوِّ الدُّعاءِ مِنَ التَّأثيرِ Supplication is not Without Effect

80ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنَّ رَبَّكم حَيِيٌّ كريمٌ ، يَستَحيِي أن يَبسُطَ العبدُ يَدَيهِ إلَيهِ فَيَرُدَّهُما صِفراً.

80– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Verily your Lord is bashful and kind. He would be too ashamed for His servant to open his hands to Him [in supplication] and for Him to return them empty.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 3128]
 

81ـ الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): المؤمنُ مِن دُعائهِ على ثلاثٍ: إمّا أن يُدَّخَرَ لَهُ ، و إمّا أن يُعَجَّلَ لَهُ ، و إمّا أن يُدْفَعَ عَنهُ بَلاءٌ يُريدُ أن يُصِيبَهُ.

81– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘There are three types of outcome from a believer’s supplication: either it is stored away for him for later, or it is hastened for him, or it repels a calamity waiting to afflict him.’[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 280]
 

82ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): يَتَمَنّى المؤمنُ أ نّه لم يُستَجَبْ لَهُ دَعوَةٌ في الدنيا مِمّا يَرى مِن حُسنِ الثوابِ.

82– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The believer would wish that none of his supplications were answered in this world when he sees his beautiful and great rewards [in the Hereafter].’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 491, no. 9]
