۞
Hadith.3627 - Al-Walid ibn Sabih narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said:
"Three people make supplications, but their prayers are not answered"-or he said
"their prayers are returned to them":
A man who had a large amount of wealth, reaching thirty thousand or forty thousand, and spent it without careful consideration. Then he says, 'O Allah (swt), provide for me.' Allah (swt), the Exalted, says, 'Did I not provide for you?'
A man who refrains from seeking sustenance and says, 'O Allah (swt), provide for me.' Allah (swt), the Exalted, says, 'Did I not make a way for you to seek provision?'
A man who had a wife and prays, 'O Allah (swt), separate me from her.' Allah (swt), the Almighty, says, 'Did I not give you the authority to handle this matter yourself?'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "ثَلاَثَةٌ يَدْعُونَ فَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ" أَوْ قَالَ "يُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ دُعَاؤُهُمْ رَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَلاَثِينَ أَلْفاً أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفاً فَأَنْفَقَهُ فِي وُجُوهِهِ فَيَقُولُ اَللَّهُمَّ اُرْزُقْنِي فَيَقُولُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَ لَمْ أَرْزُقْكَ وَ رَجُلٌ أَمْسَكَ عَنِ اَلطَّلَبِ فَيَقُولُ اَللَّهُمَّ اُرْزُقْنِي فَيَقُولُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ اَلسَّبِيلَ إِلَى اَلطَّلَبِ وَ رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَ اَللَّهُمَّ فَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهَا فَيَقُولُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ".
