Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1728 — The Book of Dhikr (Remembrance of Allâh), Ad-Du'â (Invocations), At-Tauba (Repentance to Allâh) and Al-Istaghfâr (Allâh's forgiveness)

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari Narrated from:

When Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم fought the battle of Khaibar, or said, when Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went towards it, (whenever) the people (passed over a high place) overlooking a valley, they raised their voices saying, "Allâhu Akbar! Allâhu Akbar!" (Allâh is the Most Great). Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)." On that Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said (to them), "Lower your voices, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but you are calling a Hearer, Who is near and is with you."I was behind the riding animal of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and he heard me saying, " Lâ hawla wala quwwata illa billâh " (There is neither might, nor power but with Allâh)." On that he said to me, "O 'Abdullâh bin Qais!" I said, " Labbaik, [1] O Allâh's Messenger!" He said, "Shall I tell you a sentence which is one of the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes, O Allâh's Messenger! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for your sake." He said, "It is: Lâ hawla wala quwwata illâ billâh (there is neither might nor power but with Allâh)."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 516, Vol. 5)
