1340. Abū Az-Zubair said: “I heard ‘Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair speaking from the Minbar, saying: ‘When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said the Taslīm, he would say: “Lâ ilāha illallāh waḥdahu lâ sharīka
lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-ḥamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadīr, lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illa billāhil-'azīm; lā ilāha ill-Allāhu wa lā na'budu illā iyyāh, aḥlan-ni'mati wal-fadli wath-thanā'il-ḥasan; lā ilāha ill-Allāh, mukhlīṣīna lahud-dīna wa law karihal-kāfirūn (There is none worthy of worship except Allāh alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no power and no strength except with Allāh the Almighty. There is none worthy of worship except Allāh, and we worship none but Him, the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allāh, and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it).” (Sahīh)

Commentary
“La hawl wa la quwwata illa billāh” is a comprehensive expression. The term ḥawl denotes strength or ability to guard against every loss or evil, and quwwah signifies power to obtain every good thing. Apparently, it encompasses everything. It is perhaps for this reason that this expression is called the treasure of Paradise.
