Mukhtasar Muslim

´Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) says that` we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey when people began to say takbeer in loud voices. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O people! Be gentle with yourselves (i.e., remember Allah quietly), for you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent. Rather, you are calling upon the One who hears (from everywhere), is near, and is with you (i.e., with His knowledge and encompassing presence)." Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I was behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and I was saying: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power and no strength except with Allah)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I not tell you of a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah! Please tell me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (This phrase is of entrusting affairs to Allah, and in it is the acknowledgment that no one else has power or strength, and for this reason Allah Almighty loves it very much)."
