حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَفَلَ مِنْ حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ أَوْ غَزْوٍ فَأَوْفَى عَلَى فَدْفَدٍ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ آيِبُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4569
It was narrated from Saalim, from his father, that when the Prophet (PBUH) returned from Hajj or 'Umrah or a battle, when he reached the top of a hillock or high ground, He would say is no god but Allah alone with no partner or associate, He is the Dominion, to Him be praise and He has power over all this Allah has fulfilled His promise, supported His slave and defeated the confederates alone, returning, if Allah wills, repenting, and praising our Lord.”
