مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1393 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Sayyiduna Musa
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « قَالَ مُوسَى : يَا رَبِّ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَذْكُرُكَ وَأَدْعُوكَ بِهِ قَالَ : قُلْ يَا مُوسَى : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، قَالَ : كُلُّ عِبَادِكَ يَقُولُ هَذَا . قَالَ : قُلْ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ . قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا تَخُصُّنِي بِهِ ، قَالَ : يَا مُوسَى لَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَعَامِرَهُنَّ غَيْرِي ، وَالْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعَ ، فِي كِفَّةٍ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فِي كِفَّةٍ ، مَالَتْ بِهِنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) said in the court of the Divine: 'O my Lord! Teach me something by which I may remember You and supplicate to You.' Allah Almighty said: 'O Musa! Say "La ilaha illallah" (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah).' He said: 'O my Lord! All of Your servants say this phrase.' Allah Almighty said: 'Say "La ilaha illallah".' He said: 'There is no god worthy of worship except You, but I want something with which You single me out.' Allah Almighty said: 'O Musa! If the seven heavens and all their inhabitants other than Me, and the seven earths, were in one pan of the scale, and "La ilaha illallah" were in the other pan, the pan of "La ilaha illallah" would outweigh them all.'"
