حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالتَّکْبِيرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَی أَنْفُسِکُمْ إِنَّکُمْ لَيْسَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّکُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا وَهُوَ مَعَکُمْ قَالَ وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّکَ عَلَی کَنْزٍ مِنْ کُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقُلْتُ بَلَی يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6862
Abu Musa reported: We were along with Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on a journey when the people began to pronounce Allahu Akbar in a loud voice. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: O people, show mercy to yourselves for you are not calling One who is deaf or absent. Verily, you are calling One who is All-Hearing (and) Near to you and is with you. Abu Musa said that he had been behind him (the Prophet) and reciting: There is neither might nor power but that of Allah. He (the Prophet), while addressing 'Abdullah b. Qais, said: Should I not direct you to a treasure from amongst the treasures of Paradise? I ('Abdullah b. Qais) said: Allah's Messenger, do it, of course. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Then recite: There is no might and no power but that of Allah.
