6384. Narrated Abū Mūsā: We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we = hidden matters. O Allāh, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter (or said: for my present, and future life), then do it for me; and if You know that this matter is evil (not good) for me in my religion, my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter (or said: for my present and future life), then keep it away from me and take me away from it, and choose what is good for me wherever it is, and please me with it.' used to say Takbīr(1) (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, "Lā ḥaula wa lā quwwata illā billāh." He said, "O 'Abdullāh bin Qais! Say: 'Lā ḥaula wa lā quwwata illā billāh,' 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: Lā ḥaula wa lā quwwata illā billāh."(2)

6384 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَكُنَّا إِذَا عَلَوْنَا كَبَّرْنَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا، وَلَكِنْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا» ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي: لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: " يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، قُلْ: لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، فَإِنَّهَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الجَنَّةِ " أَوْ قَالَ: «أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ هِيَ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الجَنَّةِ؟ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ»
