6409. Narrated Abū Mūsā Al-Ash’arī: The Prophet ﷺ started ascending a high place or hill. A man (amongst his companions) ascended it and shouted in a loud voice, “Lā ilāha illallāhu wa-Allāhu Akbar (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh; and Allāh is the Most Great).” (At that time) Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ was riding his mule. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one.” And added, “O Abū Mūsā (or, O ‘Abdullāh)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasures of Paradise?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Lā ḥaula wa lā quwwata illā billāh.”

6409 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَبُو الحَسَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَقَبَةٍ - أَوْ قَالَ: فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ - قَالَ: فَلَمَّا عَلاَ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ نَادَى، فَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، قَالَ: وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا أَبَا مُوسَى - أَوْ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ - أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الجَنَّةِ " قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: «لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ»
