English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن قيس الأشعري

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) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was riding his mule. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one." and added, "O Abu Musa (or, O `Abdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasure of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "La haul a wala quwwata illa billah,"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَقَبَةٍ ، أَوْ قَالَ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ قَالَ : فَلَمَّا عَلَا عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ نَادَى ، فَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، قَالَ : وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ ، قَالَ : "

فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا

" ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ ، قُلْتُ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : " لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ " .
