حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَفَلَ مِنْ حَجٍّ أَوْ غَزْوٍ فَعَلَا فَدْفَدًا مِنْ الْأَرْضِ أَوْ شَرَفًا قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ سَاجِدُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4496
It was narrated that ibn 'Umar said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) returned from Hajj or an expedition or 'Umrah, when he reached high ground or the top of a hillock, he would say:"Allah is most great, Allah is most great, there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, to Him be praise, and He has power over all things- Returning, repenting, prostrating and worshipping our Lord and praising Him. Allah has fulfilled His promise, supported His slave and defeated the confederates alone.”
