لَيْسَ كُلُّ دُعَاءٍ يُجَابُ

Not every supplication is answered

المصدر : غرر الحكم ودرر الكلم

إِنَّ كَرَمَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ لَا يَنْقُضُ حِكْمَتَهُ فَلِذَلِكَ لَا يَقَعُ [لَا تَقَعُ‏] الْإِجَابَةُ فِي كُلِّ دَعْوَةٍ

The kindness of Allah does not annul His wisdom; it is for this reason that not all supplications are answered

رُبَّمَا سَأَلْتَ الشَّيْ‏ءَ فَلَمْ تُعْطَهُ وَأُعْطِيتَ خَيْراً مِنْهُ

Sometimes you may ask for something but you are not granted it, rather you are given [something] better than it

الْمَعْصِيَةُ تَمْنَعُ الْإِجَابَةَ

Sin prevents the one’s supplication from being answered

الدَّاعِي بِلَا عَمَلٍ كَالْقَوْسِ بِلَا وَتَرٍ

The one who supplicates without action is like a bow without a bowstring

لَا تَسْتَبْطِئْ إِجَابَةَ دُعَائِكَ وَقَدْ سَدَدْتَ طَرِيقَهُ بِالذُّنُوبِ

Do not reckon that your supplication is being answered [too] slowly while you have obstructed its path with [your] sins

لَا يُقَنِّطَنَّكَ تَأْخِيرَ إِجَابَةِ الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ الْعَطِيَّةَ عَلَى قَدْرِ النِّيَّةِ وَرُبَّمَا تَأَخَّرَتِ الْإِجَابَةُ لِيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ أَعْظَمَ لِأَجْرِ السَّائِلِ وَأَجْزَلَ لِعَطَاءِ النَّائِلِ

Never get disheartened by a delayed answer to [your] supplication, for indeed that which is granted is commensurate with the intention, and sometimes the answer might be delayed so that it may result in a greater reward for the seeker and a more bountiful grant for the recipient
