Al-Ansari narrated to us; Ma‘n narrated to us; Malik narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A‘raj, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘None of you should say, “O Allah, forgive me if You will; O Allah, have mercy on me if You will.” Rather, let him be resolute in asking, for no one can compel Him.’ He said: ‘This is a hasan sahih hadith.’
