وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: أَسلَمَ عَبدِي واستسلم ". رَوَاهُمَا الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي الدَّعْوَات الْكَبِير

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘Shall I direct you to a phrase from beneath the Throne, a treasure from Paradise: “There is no might or power except through God”?’ God Most High says: ‘My servant has submitted and surrendered.’ Al-Bayhaqi transmitted both reports in al-Da‘awat al-Kabir. The Arabic source marks them as not studied by al-Albani.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic attributes the response ‘My servant has submitted and surrendered’ to God Most High.
