Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Ali Bin Muhammad altogether from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al-Munkary, from Hafs Bin Gayaas who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘When one of you intends that whenever he asks his Lord (azwj) for something He (azwj) would Give it to him, so he should despair from all the people, and do not have any hope for himself except from Allah (azwj) Mighty is His (azwj) Remembrance.

So when Allah (azwj) Knows that to be in his heart, never would he ask for anything but it would be Given to him. So take account of your selves before Accounting is taken against you, for on the Day of Judgement there will be fifty pausing stations, with each stop being of the measurement of a thousand years’. Then he (asws) recited: “[32:5] in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count”.
