حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا قَفَلَ مِنْ حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ أَوْ غَزْوٍ كَبَّرَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ 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 5295
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that when the Prophet (PBUH) returned from Hajj or 'Umrah or an expedition, when he reached high ground or the top of a hillock, he would say takbeer three times, then he said: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, to Him be praise, and fie 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"
