Hadith 33:617

Ibn Mahdi narrated to us, from Sufyan, from his father, from Abu Ya’la, who said: Rabi’ said: I do not like a servant’s pleading with his Lord, saying: "O Lord, You have decreed mercy upon Yourself; You have decreed such and such upon Yourself," as if he is finding it slow. And I have not seen anyone say: "O Lord, I have fulfilled what is upon me, so fulfill what is upon You."

حدثنا بن مهدي عن سفيان عن أبيه عن أبي يعلى عن ربيع قال ما أحب مناشدة العبد لربه يقول رب قضيت على نفسك الرحمة قضيت على نفسك كذا يستبطئ وما رأيت أحدا يقول رب قد أديت ما علي فأد ما عليك
