حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی أَنَّهُمْ کَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُمْ يَصْعَدُونَ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ کُلَّمَا عَلَا ثَنِيَّةً نَادَی لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّکُمْ لَا تُنَادُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَی أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّکَ عَلَی کَلِمَةٍ مِنْ کَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6864
Abu Musa reported that he (and his other companions) were climbing upon the hillock along with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and when any person climbed up, he pronounced (loudly): There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Verily, you are not supplicating One Who is deaf or absent. He said: Abu Musa or Abdullah b Qais, should I not direct you to the words (which form) the treasure of Paradise? I said: Allah's Messenger, what are these? He said: There is no might and no power but that of Allah.
