Hadith 734
۞
5-73 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Sayyari who linked it up through a chain of narrators to Abi Hamzih al-Somali, “I told Ali ibn al-Hussein as-Sajjad (MGB), ‘You say that we should praise God with five sentences. What are they?’ The Imam (MGB) said, ‘
When you say Subhanallah va bihamdeh you have raised up the Blessed the Sublime God to a higher rank than what the atheists say. When you say La illaha illalah vahdahu la sharika la you have expressed the words of sincerity. Anyone who utters this and is not one of the haughty oppressors shall be saved from the Fire by God. When you say la hule va la quwata illa billah you have entrusted your affairs to God. When you say Istaqfurallah va Atubo ellayh it implies that you are not haughty and oppressive. One who is too haughty would insist on committing sins and his selfish desires overwhelm him. He favors the affairs of this world over those of the Hereafter. When you say alhamdulil-lah , you have thanked for the blessings which God has sent for you.’”
5-73 حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد السياري باسناده رفعه إلى أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام قال
قلت قولك مجدوا الله في خمس كلمات ما هي؟ قال: إذا قلت "سبحان الله وبحمده" رفعت الله تبارك وتعالى عما يقول العادلون به، فإذا قلت: "لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له" فهي كلمة الاخلاص التي لا يقولها عبد إلا أعتقه الله من النار إلا المستكبرين والجبارين، ومن قال "لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله" فوض الامر إلى الله عز وجل، ومن قال: "أستغفر الله وأتوب إليه" فليس بمستكبر ولا جبار، إن المستكبر الذي يصر على الذنب الذي قد غلبه هواه فيه وآثر دنياه على آخرته، ومن قال: الحمد لله فقد أدى شكر كل نعمة لله عز وجل عليه
