English

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 484:
Narrated Abu Musa:
We were with the Prophet on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say,
"Allahu Akbar." The Prophet said, "Don't trouble yourselves too much! You are not calling a deaf or
an absent person, but you are calling One Who Hears, Sees, and is very near." Then he came to me
while I was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala quwwatta illa billah (There is neither might nor
power but with Allah)." He said, to me, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala quwwata illa bil –
lah (There is neither might nor power but with Allah), for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or
said, "Shall I tell you of it?"
