حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَفَلَ مِنْ غَزْوٍ أَوْ حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ 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 4636
It was narrated that Ibn Umar said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) returned from a battle or Hajj or 'Umrah, when he reached the top of a hillock or high ground, 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, worshipping, praising our Lord Allah has fulfilled His promise, supported His slave and defeated the confederates alone."
