Imam Ali (PBUH) says:

Perhaps you asked the thing, so you will not be given it, and you will be better than it sooner or later. Come on what is your beauty for you and exile from you and with it

Sometimes you want something (from God) but you don’t give you and sooner or later it is given to you better,
Or because of what your good and expedient is in the way you are fulfilled,
Because you may have desired that, if fulfilled
So, ask for something that is beautiful and good and has no consequences.

Nahj al -Balagha, letter 31
