A treasure from the treasures of Jannah

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».

[AI] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Shall I not inform you?" Hashim replied: "Why not guide me towards a word from the treasure of Paradise underneath the Throne? There is no power but with Allah." He said: "My servant has submitted and surrendered [to Allah].

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ يَقُولُ أَسْلَمَ عَبْدِي وَاسْتَسْلَمَ

[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] 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] "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 «»

سمعت أبا هريرة ؓ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أنه قال ألا أدلكم على كلمة من كنز الجنة من تحت العرش وأن تقول لا قوة إلا بالله يقول الله أسلم عبدي واستسلم

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كنز من كنز الجنة من تحت العرش لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ

"أَلا أدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَة مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ كَنْز الْجَنَّةِ؟ تَقُولُ: لا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا باللَّهِ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: أَسْلَمَ عَبْدِى وَاسْتَسْلَمَ ".
