Hajjaj Bin Yousaf saw a blind man holding the Cover of Holy kaba’. He asked him what are you doing here and why u did hold it.  Blind Man replied,

I am asking  Allah for 20 years for my eyesight to be recovered.

Hajjaj saw him and said,

How is it possible you are praying from 20 years yet your du’a is not accepted.

Hajjaj gave him a sword and said,

Take this I will be back after 3 days and if your eyesight is not recovered I will kill you.

The man was so much terrified after 3 days when Hajjaj came he saw the eyesight of blind man was recovered then Hajjaj said to him

See this is the difference between the careless du’a you were doing for 20 years and the three days intense and sincere du’a out of fear for your life.
