Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ ثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَن أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَن أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ فَأَهْبَطَنَا وَهْدَةً مِنْ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ النَّاسُ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّكُمْ تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا قَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَانِي وَكُنْتُ مِنْهُ قَرِيبًا فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah told us: Asim al-Ahwal told us, from Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, from Abu Musa, who said: We were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey. He said: We descended into a low valley of land, and the people raised their voices with the takbir. He said, "O people, be moderate with yourselves, for you are not calling upon one deaf or absent; you are calling upon One who hears and is near." He said: Then he called me, and I was close to him, and said, "O Abdullah ibn Qays, shall I not guide you to a phrase from the treasure of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "'There is no power and no strength except with Allah.'"
