The answer

The phrase "every diligent person has a share" has not been authentically attributed as a raised (marfu'), stopped (mawquf), or severed (maqtu') narration. However, there is no religious impediment (shar'an) to saying it, based on the Qudsi : "I am as My servant expects Me to be," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "If one of you wishes for something, let him ask for much, for he is only asking his Lord," and his saying: "The intention of a believer is more potent than his deed." Furthermore, Allah does not look at the words of the wise, but rather at their resolve. Therefore, this statement is permissible and does not contradict Islamic creed or etiquette.
