Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31436 — Book of the Remembrance of Allah
٣١٤٣٦ - حدثنا يحيى بن آدم عن مفضل عن منصور عن مجاهد عن أبي بكر بن عبد الرحمن (بن الحارث) (١) بن هشام عن كعب قال: قال موسى: يا رب دلني على عمل إذا عملته كان شكرًا لك فيما (اصطنعت) (٢) إلى قال: يا موسى (قل) (٣): (لا إله إلا اللَّه أو قال) (٤): لا إله إلا اللَّه وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو ⦗٢٢٦⦘ على كل شيء قدير، قال: فكأن موسى أراد من العمل ما هو (أنهك) (٥) لجسمه مما أمر به، قال: فقال له: يا موسى، لو أن السماوات السبع والأرضين السبع وضعت في كفة ووضعت لا إله إلا اللَّه في كفة لرجحت بهن.
Ka'b said: Musa (peace be upon him) said: "O my Lord, guide me to a deed which, when I do it, will be my thanks to You for all the good You have done for me." Allah, the Lord of Might, said: "O Musa, recite these words: 'There is no god but Allah,'" or He said: "'There is no god but Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and for Him is the praise, and He has power over all things.'" Ka'b said: It was as though Musa (peace be upon him) wanted a deed such that whatever he was commanded would greatly exhaust his body. Ka'b said: Then Allah said to him: "O Musa, if the seven heavens and the seven earths were placed in one pan of the scale, and the kalimah tayyibah (There is no god but Allah) were placed in its other pan, the pan of the kalimah would outweigh them."
