The answer

There is no objection to attaching a supplication in the form of a statement, such as "May your mother be blessed with mercy," to the will of Allah. This is not considered a lack of resolve in supplication. Supplications in the form of statements, conditioned by the will of Allah, have been reported in the of the Prophet, such as his saying to a sick person: "No harm, it is a purification, if Allah wills," and his saying after breaking the fast: "The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills." It is the supplication in the form of a command that is prohibited from being attached to the will of Allah, but there is no harm in doing so for a supplication in the form of a statement.
