حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی قَالَ سَمِعَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّکَ عَلَی کَلِمَةٍ مِنْ کُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَی يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3824
It was narrated that Abu Musa said: “The Prophet (saw) heard me saying: ‘La hawla wala quwwata illa billah (there is no power and no strength except with Allah).’ He said: ‘O Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I not tell you of a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise?” I said: ‘Yes, O Mesenger of Allah,’ He said: ‘Say: La hawla wala quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).’” (Sahih)
