The answer

The saying: "O Allah, I am pleased with You" is a prescribed remembrance (dhikr) that necessitates entry into Paradise. This is based on what is mentioned in the prescribed remembrance after the : "I am pleased with Allah as Lord," and the of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says: 'I am pleased with Allah as Lord, and with Islam as a religion, and with Muhammad as a Messenger,' Paradise becomes incumbent upon him."

As for the phrase: "Have You been pleased with me?", there is no parallel for it found in the Quran, , or the supplications of the pious predecessors. However, the door of supplication is wide, and there is no harm in it as long as it does not contain a legal prohibition, although adhering to what is reported is better.
