say: `Al-hamdu lillah' (praise be to Allah) in the same way. Then say: `La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except
Allah) in the same way. Then say: `La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (there is no change of a condition nor power
except by Allah) in the same manner
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Sheikh Al-Albani has accepted this Hadith as Hasan because of the defect in its authority. He has
stated that the original narration of it is without any reference to gravels and stones (of fruits) and that is "Sahih'' and
has been mentioned by Imam Muslim in his Sahih with reference to Jawairiyah (May Allah be pleased with her).

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "
Shall I
not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Jannah
?'' I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!'' Thereupon he
(PBUH) said, "
(Recite) `La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no change of a condition nor power except by
Allah).
''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
In this Hadith the invocation "
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
'' has been regarded a treasure of
Jannah or one of the most precious stores of Jannah. The reason for its high eminence seems to be that through it,
one makes a confession of his utter weakness and helplessness and attributes all power and authority to Allah, and
this is very much liked by Allah. This statement is an outright admission that man has no power and if he can
prevent himself from any mischief or do any good deed, it is only by the Will of Allah and His Permission.
