اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَجَعَلْنَا لَا نَصْعَدُ شَرَفًا وَلَا نَعْلُو شَرَفًا وَلَا نَهْبِطُ فِي وَادٍ إِلَّا رَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا بِالتَّكْبِيرِ قَالَ فَدَنَا مِنَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّمَا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا إِنَّ الَّذِي تَدْعُونَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ عُنُقِ رَاحِلَتِهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَةً مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a battle. When we would ascend to a high place or climb up and descend into a valley, we would recite the takbir loudly. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came close to us and said: O people! Be gentle with yourselves. Indeed, you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent, but you are calling upon One who is All-Hearing and All-Seeing. Indeed, the One you are mentioning is closer to you than the neck of your mount. O Abdullah! Shall I not teach you a word which is from the treasures of Paradise? That word is: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power to avoid evil and no strength to do good except by Allah’s help).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Through this remembrance, a person expresses humility and submissiveness before Allah Ta'ala, acknowledging that when he performs righteous deeds and abstains from evil, there is no personal merit of his own in it; rather, it is happening through the support and divine enablement (tawfiq) of Allah Ta'ala. The reason for likening it to a treasure is that just as a treasure of wealth is something excellent and precious, similarly, this remembrance is also excellent, and its reward and recompense is that it leads one into Paradise.
