La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah is one of the treasures of Paradise
Narrated Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him: We were in the company of the Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say Takbir (in a loud voice). The Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "O people! Be kind to yourselves, for you are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one, but You are calling an All-Hearer, and an All-Seer." Then he came to me as I was reciting silently, "La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah." He said, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! Say: La haul a walaquwata illa bil-lah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or he said, "Shall I tell you a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is: La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah."
Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, was keen to know the word that is considered one of the treasures of Paradise; so that he mentions it continually with his heart and tongue in the morning and evening
The Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
Say: La haul a walaquwata illa bil-lah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or he said, "Shall I tell you a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is: La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah."
The meaning of being one of the treasures of Paradise: It is like treasure, as the treasure provides man with money to get what he loves the pleasures of the world, so this word entails a large reward that facilitates to the Muslim reaching the high ranks of Paradise.
If we knew the virtue of this word, then it is necessary for us to increase mentioning it, it is a sufficient enough word to express the complete submission to Allah, through which the believer entrusts his entire affairs to the Creator to find tranquility and solace.
It is a word with which Allah firms up His slaves in the tribulations, strengthens their resolution in both distress and prosperity, and elevates them in this world and in the Hereafter.
It is a word by which Allah brings down the tranquility in the hearts of the believers, and increases their faith as much as their tongues mention it, their hearts believed in it, and their conscience absorbed its meanings and goals.
This is the fountain of wisdom and its source, because this word combines all kinds of remembering Allah after the word of Tawheed.
