The answer

Praying against oneself is prohibited, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Do not pray against yourselves, and do not pray against your children, lest you coincide with a moment from Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, when He is asked for a grant, and He answers you." As for praying for non-acceptance [of a prayer], there is no harm in it. One must repel obsessive thoughts and occupy their time with what is beneficial.
