Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)
حديث أبي موسى الأشعري
Hadith 243:32
Narrated to us Khalaf ibn Hisham al-Bazzar, narrated to us Hammad ibn Zayd, from Ayyub, from Abu Uthman, from Abu Musa, who said: We were with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on a journey. When the people would ascend a high place, they would say "Allahu Akbar" (God is the Greatest). The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "O people, be gentle with yourselves, for you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent, but you are calling upon One who is All-Hearing, Near." He said: He came upon me while I was saying, "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power and no strength except by Allah). He said: "Indeed, O servant of Allah, shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? [It is] 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah'."
حدثنا خلف بن هشام البزار حدثنا حماد بن زيد عن أيوب عن أبي عثمان عن أبي موسى قال * كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في سفر فكان القوم إذا علوا شرفا كبروا فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أيها الناس اربعوا على أنفسكم فإنكم لا تدعون أصم ولا غائبا ولكنكم تدعون سميعا قريبا قال وأتى علي وأنا أقول لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله قال بلى يا عبد الله ألا أدلك على كنز من كنوز الجنة لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
