English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن قيس الأشعري

We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say Takbir (in a loud voice). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O people! Be kind to yourselves, for you are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one, but You are calling an All-Hearer, and an All-Seer." Then he came to me as I was reciting silently, "La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah." He said, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Say La haul a walaquwata illa bil-lah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or he said, "Shall I tell you a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنَّا إِذَا عَلَوْنَا كَبَّرْنَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا ، وَلَكِنْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا

" ، ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ ، قُلْ : " لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّهَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ " ، أَوْ قَالَ : " أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ هِيَ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ " .
