Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

Allāh to the same number;
wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh mithla dhālika – and there is no might nor power except through Allah to the same number.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who said: it is a ḥasan hadith (1).

1451 – Abū Mūsā – may Allah be pleased with him – related that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, “Shall I not direct you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?” I replied, “Indeed, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh (There is no might nor power except through Allah).” Agreed upon.

245 – Chapter: Remembering Allah Most High while standing, sitting, lying down, in a state of minor ritual impurity, major ritual impurity, or menstruation – with the exception of reciting the Qur’an, for it is not permissible for a person in a state of janābah or a menstruating woman (2).

Allah the Exalted says: “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of night and day are signs for people of insight—those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides…” [Āl ʿImrān 3:190–191].

1452 – ʿĀʾishah – may Allah be pleased with her – said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would remember Allah in all circumstances. Reported by Muslim.

1453 – Ibn ʿAbbās – may Allah be pleased with them – narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, “If, when one of you approaches his wife, he says: ‘In the name of Allah. O Allah, keep Satan away from us and keep Satan away from what You grant us,’ and a child is then ordained for them, Satan will never harm him.” (3) Agreed upon.

(1) I have remarked: this is how he quoted it, yet the isnad (chain of transmission) contains an unknown narrator, as I pointed out in my Commentary on al-Kalim al-Tayyib (p. 27) and discussed in detail in my refutation of Shaykh al-Habashi. The wording of the hadith without the reference to date-stones or pebbles is authentic; Muslim included it in his Sahih on the authority of Juwayriya, may Allah be pleased with her. (2) No sound hadith supports this exception; therefore the author cited nothing about it. On the contrary, the forthcoming report of Aisha—and other narrations—oppose it, so reflect on this. (3) That is, “the devil.” This is the exact wording found in al-Bukhari, Book of Wudu, chapter 8.

اللَّهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ؛ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن (١) . ١٤٥١ - وعن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه قال : قال لي رسول الله ﷺ : « أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ » فقلت : بلى يا رسول الله قال : « لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ » متفق عليه . ٢٤٥ - باب ذكر الله تعالى قائماً وقاعداً ومضطجعاً ومحدثاً وجنباً وحائضاً إلا القرآن (٢) فلا يحل لجنب ولا حائض قال الله تعالى : ﴿إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَآيَاتٍ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ ، قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ ﴾ [آل عمران : ١٩٠ ، ١٩١] . ١٤٥٢ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت : كان رسول الله ﷺ ، يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَحْيَانِهِ . رواه مسلم . ١٤٥٣ - وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي ﷺ ، قال : « لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ قَالَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ ، وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا ، فَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ » (٣) متفق عليه .

(١) « قلت : كذا قال ، وفي إسناده جهالة كما بينته في « التعليق على الكلم الطيب » ( ص ٢٧ ) ، وفصلته في ردي على الشيخ الحبشي ، وأصل الحديث بدون ذكر النوى أو الحصى صحيح ، أخرجه مسلم في « صحيحه » من حديث جويرية رضي الله عنها » - ن - . (٢) هذا الاستثناء ليس فيه حديث يصح ، ولذلك لم يذكر المصنف فيه شيئاً ، بل حديث عائشة الآتي وغيره يخالفه فتأمل - ن - . (٣) أي : الشيطان . قلت : وهذا لفظ البخاري في الوضوء ، باب (٨) .
