حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَکُنَّا إِذَا عَلَوْنَا کَبَّرْنَا فَقَالَ ارْبَعُوا عَلَی أَنْفُسِکُمْ فَإِنَّکُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا قَرِيبًا ثُمَّ أَتَی عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ قُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا کَنْزٌ مِنْ کُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّکَ بِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7386
Narrated Abu Musa: We were with the Prophet on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet said, "Don't trouble yourselves too much! You are not calling a deaf or an absent person, but you are calling One Who Hears, Sees, and is very near." Then he came to me while I was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala quwwatta illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with Allah)." He said, to me, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala quwwata illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with Allah), for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or said, "Shall I tell you of it?"
