"عَنِ ابنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ الله ﷺ جَالِسٌ فَسَلَّمْتُ وَجَلَسْتُ فَقلْتُ: لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللهِ، فَقَالَ لِى النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: أَلا أُخْبِرُكَ بِتَفْسِيرِهَا؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! قَالَ: لَا حَوْلَ عَنْ مَعْصِيةِ اللهِ إِلا بعِصْمَةِ اللهِ، وَلا قُوَّةَ عَلَى طَاعَةِ اللهِ إِلا بِعَوْنِ اللهِ، وَضَرَبَ مَنْكِبِى وَقَالَ: هَكَذَا أَخْبَرَنِى جِبْرِيلُ يَا بْن أَمِّ عَبْدٍ".

"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: I entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting, so I greeted him and sat down, and I said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).' The Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'Shall I not inform you of its explanation?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'There is no power to refrain from the disobedience of Allah except by the protection of Allah, and no strength for obedience to Allah except by the help of Allah.' And he struck my shoulder and said: 'Thus did Jibril inform me, O Ibn Umm 'Abd.'"
