698. SUPPLICATIONS THAT ARE NOT ANSWERED

2159.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : سألتُ اللَّهَ أن لا يَستَجيبَ دعاءَ حبيبٍ على‏ حبيبِهِ .1

2159.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'I asked Allah not to answer the supplication of an enamoured one against his beloved.' 2

2160.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : أربعٌ لا يُستَجابُ لَهُم دعاءٌ : الرجلُ جالسٌ في بَيتِهِ يقولُ : يا ربِّ ارزُقْني ، فيقولُ لَهُ : ألَم آمُرْكَ بالطَّلَبِ ؟ ! ورجلٌ كانَت لَهُ امرأةٌ فَدَعا علَيها ، فيقولُ : ألَم أجعَلْ أمرَها بيدِكَ ؟! ورجلٌ كانَ لَهُ مالٌ فأفسَدَهُ فيقولُ : يا ربِّ ارزُقْني ، فيقولُ لَهُ : ألَم آمُرْكَ بالاقتِصادِ ؟! ... ورجلٌ كانَ لَهُ مالٌ فأدانَهُ بغيرِ بَيِّنَةٍ فَيَقولُ : ألَم آمُرْكَ بِالشَّهادَةِ ؟! 3

2160.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'There are four kinds of people whose supplications do not get answered: the man who sits in his house saying, 'O my Lord, grant me sustenance', to whom He says, 'Did I not command you to seek [for your sustenance]?', then there is the man who has a wife and supplicates against her, to whom He replies, 'Did I not make you responsible for her [put her affairs in your hands]?', and a man who has wealth and wastes it, who says, 'O my Lord, grant me sustenance', to whom He replies, 'Did I not command you to be economical?'...and a man who has wealth and loans it to someone without keeping any proof [of loan], to whom He replies, 'Did I not command you to take a witness?!' 4
