When Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Khaibar, or when Messenger of Allah ﷺ went towards it, (whenever) the people, (passed over a high place overlooking a valley, they raised their voices saying, "Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped except Allah." On that Allah's Apostle said (to them), "Lower your voices, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but you are calling a Hearer Who is near and is with you." I was behind the riding animal of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he heard me saying. "There Is neither might, nor power but with Allah," On that he said to me, "O ʿAbdullah bin Qais!" I said, "Labbaik. O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "Shall I tell you a sentence which is one of the treasures of Paradise" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for your sake." He said, "It is: There is neither might nor power but with Allah."

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 ʿAbdullah 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."

We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Don't trouble yourselves too much! You are not calling a deaf or an absent person, but you are calling One Who Hears, Sees, and is very near." Then he came to me while I was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala quwwatta illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with Allah)." He said, to me, "O ʿAbdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala quwwata illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with Allah), for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or said, "Shall I tell you of it?"

We were along with Allah's Apostle ﷺ on a journey when the people began to pronounce "Allahu Akbar" in a loud voice. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O people, show mercy to yourselves for you are not calling One who is deaf or absent. Verily, you are calling One who is All-Hearing (and) Near to you and is with you. Abu Musa said that he had been behind him (the Prophet) and reciting: "There is neither might nor power but that of Allah." He (the Prophet), while addressing 'Abdullah b. Qais, said: Should I not direct you to a treasure from amongst the treasures of Paradise? I ('Abdullah b. Qais) said: Messenger of Allah, do it, of course. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Then recite: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when we descended in a valley on the ground. The people began to raise their voices with takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar). The Prophet said, "O people, be gentle with yourselves, for you are not calling upon a deaf or absent (God), but rather you are calling upon a hearing and near (God)." Then he called me, and I was close to him, and he said, "O Abdullah bin Qais, shall I not inform you of a phrase from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah."
