Imam Ahmad reported that Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari said, "We were in the
company of Allah's Messenger during a battle. Whenever we climbed a high
place, went up a hill or went down a valley, we used to say, `Allah is
the Most Great,' raising our voices. The Prophet came by us and said:
«يَا
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، ارْبَعُوا عَلى أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا
تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ ولَا غَائِبًا، إنَّمَا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا،
إنَّ الَّذي تَدْعُونَ أَقْربُ إِلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ عُنُقِ رَاحِلَتِهِ،
يا عَبْدَاللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَةً مِنْ كُنُوزِ
الْجَنَّةِ؟ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِالله»
(O people! Be merciful to yourselves (i.e., don't raise
your voices), for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but One
Who is All-Hearer, All-Seer. The One Whom you call is closer to one of
you than the neck of his animal. O `Abdullah bin Qais (Abu Musa's name)
should I teach you a statement that is a treasure of Paradise: `La hawla
wa la quwwata illa billah (there is no power or strength except from
Allah).')
This Hadith was also recorded in the Two Sahihs, and Abu
Dawud, An-Nasa'i, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah recorded similar wordings.
Furthermore, Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas said that the Prophet said:
«يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا دَعَانِي»
("Allah the Exalted said, `I am as My servant thinks of
Me, and I am with him whenever he invokes Me.') Allah accepts the
Invocation
Imam Ahmad also recorded Abu Sa`id saying that the Prophet said:
«مَا
مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيها
إِثْمٌ ولَا قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ، إلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى
ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ يُعَجِّل لَهُ دَعْوَتَهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ
يَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الأُخْرَى، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ
السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا»
قَالُوا: إذًا نُكْثِرُ؟ قَالَ:
«اللهُ أَكْثَر»
(No Muslim supplicates to Allah with a Du`a that does not
involve sin or cutting the relations of the womb, but Allah will grant
him one of the three things. He will either hasten the response to his
supplication, save it for him until the Hereafter, or would turn an
equivalent amount of evil away from him.'') They said, "What if we were
to recite more (Du`a).'' He said, (There is more with Allah.)
`Abdullah the son of Imam Ahmad recorded `Ubadah bin As-Samit saying that the Prophet said:
«مَا
عَلى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
بَدَعْوَةٍ إِلَّا آتَاهُ اللهُ إيَّاهَا، أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ
مِثْلَهَا مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِم»
(There is no Muslim man on the face of the earth who
supplicates to Allah but Allah would either grant it to him, or avert a
harm from him of equal proportions, as long as his supplication does not
involve sin or cutting the relations of the womb.) At-Tirmidhi recorded
this Hadith.
