Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7252 — we were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْبَزَّارُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَكَانَ الْقَوْمُ إِذَا عَلَوْا شَرَفًا كَبَّرُوا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ : ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا » .
قَالَ : وَأَتَى عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ : لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ . قَالَ : « بَلَى يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ، أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ » .
قَالَ : وَأَتَى عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ : لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ . قَالَ : « بَلَى يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ، أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and whenever the people climbed a height they would say the takbir loudly. Upon this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Be gentle with yourselves (and keep your voices low), for you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent; rather you are calling upon One who is All-Hearing and Near." (Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I was saying: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah', and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, O Abdullah! Shall I not tell you of a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? (It is:) 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power (to avoid sin) and no strength (to do good) except through the enabling of Allah)."
