Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2868 — The virtue of the words: There is none

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُزَيْزٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَامَةُ بْنُ رَوْحٍ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ : قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ هَبَطَ ثَنِيَّةً وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسِيرُ وَحْدَهُ فَلَمَّا اسْتَهَلَّتْ بِهِ الطَّرِيقُ ضَحِكَ وَكَبَّرَ ; فَكَبَّرْنَا لِتَكْبِيرِهِ ، ثُمَّ سَارَ رَتْوَةً ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ وَكَبَّرَ ; فَكَبَّرْنَا لِتَكْبِيرِهِ ثُمَّ سَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَتْوَةً ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ ، وَكَبَّرَ فَكَبَّرْنَا لِتَكْبِيرِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْنَاهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : كَبَّرْنَا لِتَكْبِيرِكَ ، فَلَا نَدْرِي مِمَّ ضَحِكْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَلَمَّا اسْتَهَلَّتِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فَقَالَ : أَبْشِرْ وَبَشِّرْ ، أَنَّ مَنْ قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him): We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) descended a mountain pass; at that time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking alone. When the road opened up and became level before him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said "Allahu Akbar"; so because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) takbir, we also said the takbir. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on a short distance further, smiled again and said the takbir; so we too said the takbir, following him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went on a little further, then smiled and said the takbir, and we said the takbir at his (peace and blessings be upon him) takbir. Then when we reached him (peace and blessings be upon him), the Companions said: "We said the takbir because of your takbir, but we could not tell what you were smiling at?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me, and when the road opened before us, Jibril (peace be upon him) turned to me and said: Glad tidings to you, and give glad tidings (to your Ummah as well), that whoever says 'La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah' (There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, He is One, He has no partner) has entered Paradise, and the Fire has been made forbidden for him."
Takhrij: Musnad Abi Ya'la: 2868, Musnad al-Bazzar: 6714; there is criticism of Salamah bin Rawh in its chain, but supporting evidence for the virtue of the word of tawhid is abundant in other books of hadith.
