English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن قيس الأشعري

While we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with Takbir. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came close to us and said, "O people! Don't exert yourselves, for you do not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All- Listener, the All-Seer." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is) 'La haula wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither might nor power except with Allah).

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ ، فَجَعَلْنَا لَا نَصْعَدُ شَرَفًا ، وَلَا نَعْلُو شَرَفًا ، وَلَا نَهْبِطُ فِي وَادٍ ، إِلَّا رَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا بِالتَّكْبِيرِ ، قَالَ : فَدَنَا مِنَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ "

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا ، إِنَّمَا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَةً هِيَ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ : لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
