Impatience in Prayer is Destructive

Then the Holy Prophet(sa) states:

1

“Long lasting patience and steadfastness is required in prayer and an individual who does not show impatience, ultimately receives the fruit of his prayer. However, if he begins to tire and say that, ‘I have prayed much, but Allāh has not heard me’ and then with this thought, he abandons prayer all together, then in actuality, the prayer of such an individual is not accepted.”2
