When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on expedition to Khaybar, or he said, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out, the people came upon a valley and raised their voices with the takbir: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, lā ilāha illā Allāh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Take it easy on yourselves, for you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent; you are calling upon One who is Hearing, Near, and He is with you."

I was behind the mount of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he heard me while I was saying, “There is no might and no power except with Allah.” He said to me: "O Abdullah b. Qays." I said, “Labbayk (at your service), Messenger of Allah.” He said: "Shall I not guide you to a phrase from a treasure among the treasures of Jannah?" I said, “Yes, Messenger of Allah; may my father and mother be ransomed for you.” He said:

lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-Allāh

(There is no might and no power except with Allah)

لَمَّا غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ، أَوْ قَالَ: لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، أَشْرَفَ النَّاسُ عَلَى وَادٍ، فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ؛ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا، إِنَّكُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا وَهْوَ مَعَكُمْ».

وَأَنَا خَلْفَ دَابَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَسَمِعَنِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ». قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي، قَالَ:

«لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ».

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."

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنَّا إِذَا عَلَوْنَا كَبَّرْنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا وَلَكِنْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَىَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ قُلْ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ قَالَ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ هِيَ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

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?"

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنَّا إِذَا عَلَوْنَا كَبَّرْنَا فَقَالَ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا قَرِيبًا ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَىَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ قُلْ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ قَالَ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ بِهِ

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."

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَيْسَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا إِنَّكُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ قَالَ وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

" There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest." Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Verily, you are not supplicating One Who is deaf or absent. He said: Abu Musa or Abdullah b Qais, should I not direct you to the words (which form) the treasure of Paradise? I said: Messenger of Allah, what are these? He said:" There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ يَصْعَدُونَ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ كُلَّمَا عَلاَ ثَنِيَّةً نَادَى لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تُنَادُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

Should I not direct you to the words from the treasures of Paradise, or he said: Like a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said: Of course, do that. Thereupon he said:" There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

They (the Companions) accompanied the Prophet ﷺ while they were climbing the turning of a hill. A man uttered loudly: "There is no god but Allah, and Allah is most great" when he ascended the hill. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: You are not supplicating one who is deaf or absent. He then said: 'Abd Allah b. Qais. The narrator then transmitted the tradition to the same effect.

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُمْ يَتَصَعَّدُونَ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ كُلَّمَا عَلاَ الثَّنِيَّةَ نَادَى لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تُنَادُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ

"The Prophet (saas) heard me saying: 'La hawla wa la 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 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Say: La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'"

سَمِعَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

[AI] To me, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "O Abu Hurairah, shall I not guide you to a word from the treasures of Jannah?" I said, "Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you." He said, "Say, 'There is no power or strength except with Allah'."

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فِدَاكَ أَبِيوَأُمِّي قَالَ تَقُولُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not guide you to a word from the treasures of Paradise, under the Throne? There is no power except with Allah."

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] To the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, I asked, "Shall I not teach you a word from the treasures of Paradise?" He said, "Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you." I said, "Tell me." He replied, "Say, 'There is no power or strength except with Allah.'"

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَةً مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ قُلْ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not tell you about a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes, please." He said, "There is no power or might except from Allah." He said, "I think it is that Allah says, 'My servant has submitted and surrendered.'

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ أَسْلَمَ عَبْدِي وَاسْتَسْلَمَ

"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3825)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Shall I guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Jannah (Paradise)?" Then he asked, "Do you know what is a treasure from the treasures of Jannah?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "It is 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah'." (There is no power or might except with Allah).

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ أَوَ مَا تَدْرِي مَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3825)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَدْرِي؟ أَوْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] The people faced a difficult obstacle or valley, and whenever a man climbed it, he would call out "There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest," and the Prophet ﷺ was riding a camel displaying it to the horses, and he said, "O people, you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent." Then he said, "O Abu Musa or O Abdullah ibn Qais, shall I guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Say: There is no power or strength except with Allah."

أَخَذَ الْقَوْمُ فِي عُقْبَةٍ أَوْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَكُلَّمَا عَلَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهَا نَادَى لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ يَعْرِضُهَا فِي الْخَيْلِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] 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."

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ فَهَبَطْنَا فِي وَهْدَةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ النَّاسُ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّكُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا قَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَانِي وَكُنْتُ مِنْهُ قَرِيبًا فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[AI] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Shall I not teach you, or shall I not guide you to a word from beneath the Throne, from the treasures of Paradise?' You say: 'There is no power or might except with Allah.' So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says: 'My slave has submitted and surrendered.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ أَوْ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ تَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَسْلَمَ عَبْدِي وَاسْتَسْلَمَ «»

[AI] The people reached a difficult pass or narrow valley. Whenever a man ascended it, he would say, "There is no deity except Allah and Allah is the Greatest," while the Prophet ﷺ would be riding a she-ass and raising it on the mountain. He then said, "O people! You are not calling upon a deaf or absent (deity). Then he said, "O Abu Musa or Abdullah ibn Qais! Shall I not inform you of a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "There is no power or might except with Allah."

أَخَذَ الْقَوْمُ فِي عَقَبَةٍ أَوْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَكُلَّمَا عَلَاهَا رَجُلٌ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ يَعْرِضُهَا فِي الْجَبَلِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ»

[AI] He heard Abu Zaynab, the servant of Hazim Al-Ghifari, say: I heard Abu Dharr say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "O Abu Dharr, shall I not teach you a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said: Yes, by my father and mother. He said: "Say: There is no power or might except with Allah."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا زَيْنَبَ مَوْلَى حَازِمٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرًّ يَقُولُ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا ذَرًّ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ «قُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

"I passed by the Prophet (saas) and he said to me: 'O Hazim, say often: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (there is no power and no strength except with Allah)," for it is one of the treasures of Paradise.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3826)

مَرَرْتُ يَوْمًا فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَكْثِرُوا مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ»

[AI] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to say, "Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? It is to frequently say: 'There is no power or strength except with Allah'."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ تُكْثِرُونَ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3825)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ» قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? There is no power or strength except with Allah." Abu Nu'aym did not mention anything else.

[AI] The Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , saw me at the door of the mosque and said, "Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I replied, "Yes, O Prophet of Allah." He said, "There is no power nor strength except with Allah."

أَدْرَكَنِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah, it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise."

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes, please." He said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

[AI] Narrated Abu Musa: We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a jungle and the people started raising their voices withTakbir (saying: Allah-u-Akbar). The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people! Be merciful to yourselves (i.e. don't raise your voices), for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one but a Hearer, near and present." Then he pointed towards me said, "O Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasures of Paradise?" I replied in the affirmative. He said, "La hawla wala quwwata illa billah (There is no power or strength except with Allah)."

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهَبَطْنَا فِي وَهْدَةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَرَفَعَ النَّاسُ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَرْبِعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ؛ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمًّا وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّكُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا» فَقَالَ لِي وَكُنْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ «يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

[AI] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and the people approached a valley, so they began loudly proclaiming "Allahu Akbar" and "La ilaha illa Allah." Asim raised his voice, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "O people, lower your voices! Indeed, the one you are calling upon is not deaf; rather, He is Hearing and near. He is with you, He has returned it three times." Abu Musa said, "Allow me to say something as well." While I was behind him, I said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abdullah ibn Qais, shall I guide you to a treasure from the treasures of paradise?" I said, "Yes, certainly, for the sake of my father and mother." He said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah."

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَشْرَفَ النَّاسُ عَلَى وَادٍ فَجَهَرُوا بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَالتَّهْلِيلِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَرَفَعَ عَاصِمٌ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِي تَدَعُونَ لَيْسَ بِأَصَمَّ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ قَرِيبٌ إِنَّهُ مَعَكُمْ أَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ» قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَسَمِعَنِي أَقُولُ وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

The Prophet ﷺ started ascending a high place or hill. A man (amongst his companions) ascended it and shouted in a loud voice, "La ilaha illal-lahu wallahu Akbar." (At that time) Messenger of Allah ﷺ was riding his mule. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one." and added, "O Abu Musa (or, O ʿAbdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasure of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "La haul a wala quwwata illa billah," (Using translation from Bukhārī 6409)

أَخَذَ النَّاسُ فِي عُقْبَةٍ أَوْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَكُلَّمَا عَلَا عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ نَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ تَقُولُ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3825)

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ألَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no power or strength except by Allah is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ»

[AI] While I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "O Abu Huraira, shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? There is no power or might except with Allah, and there is no refuge from Allah except with Him."

بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ألَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنَ اللهِ إِلَّا إِلَيْهِ

" There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest." Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Verily, you are not supplicating One Who is deaf or absent. He said: Abu Musa or Abdullah b Qais, should I not direct you to the words (which form) the treasure of Paradise? I said: Messenger of Allah, what are these? He said:" There is no might and no power but that of Allah." (Using translation from Muslim 2704c)

أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ يَصْعَدُونَ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ نَادَى لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تُنَادُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْنَا مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

[AI] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and the people approached a valley, so they loudly proclaimed "Allahu Akbar" and "La ilaha illallah." Aasim raised his voice, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Make it four times upon yourselves, for the One you are calling upon is not deaf. Indeed, He hears and is near. He is with you." He repeated it three times. Abu Musa said, "Then he heard me saying it from behind him, 'There is no power or strength except with Allah.'" He said, "O Abdullah bin Qais, shall I guide you to a word from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you." He said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ تَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4205)
