قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ قَرِيبٌ} [سبأ: 50]

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."  

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ قَالَ 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  

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,"  

أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي عَقَبَةٍ أَوْ قَالَ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا عَلاَ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ نَادَى فَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ  

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  

[Machine] 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."  

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 «أَرْبَعُوا 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 قَالَ «يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»

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."

لَمَّا غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حُنَيْنًا أَوْ قَالَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ أَشْرَفَ النَّاسُ عَلَى وَادٍ فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمًّا وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّمَا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ قَالَ وَأَنَا خَلْفُ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعَنِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ
