حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ، قَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ، فَرَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا فَدَنَا مِنَّا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّمَا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا، وَإِنَّ الَّذِي تَدْعُونَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ عُنُقِ رَاحِلَتِكُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَةً هِيَ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

✧ We were with the Messenger of God ﷺ on a military expedition, and we raised our voices. He drew near to us and said: “O people, be gentle with yourselves, for you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent; you are only calling upon One who is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. Indeed, the One you call upon is closer to any one of you than the neck of his mount.” Then he said: “O ʿAbd Allah b. Qays, shall I not teach you a word that is one of the treasures of Paradise: There is no power and no strength except with God.”
