ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to [do the following] whenever he returned from a battle or the pilgrimage (1) or ‘umrah (2). While ascending a hill or an elevation, he would testify to God’s greatness three times and then say, “There is no god except Allāh (3) alone; He has no partner. His is the dominion; to Him belongs all praise. He has power over all things. We return(4), repentant, worshipping, seeking [God's pleasure], praising our Lord. God has kept His promise; He came to the aid of His bondsman (5) granting him victory and defeating the confederates alone(6).” Footnotes: (Ḥajj) The pilgrimage to Makkah and Madīnah during the first half of the month of Thul-Ḥijjah, which is the fifth pillar of Islām. A voluntary short ritual visit to the Sanctified Mosque in Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year. Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number. Returning to our homes; or he may have also meant returning to God in repentance. Here the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, is referring to himself. The different factions that united to fight against Islam.

Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب العلم باب ما جاء فى الحديث عن بنى إسرائيل

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنِ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِى كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِىِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَلِّغُوا عَنِّى وَلَوْ آيَةً وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلاَ حَرَجَ وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “Convey from me, even if only one verse, and tell of the Israelites without unease (1). And whoever lies about me intentionally, then let him (2) occupy his place in the Fire.” Footnotes: (1) The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, allowed us to tell the stories of the Israelites to learn lessons from them. Narrating their stories does not entail relating rulings from their books as these were superseded by what was revealed to the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him. (2) Masculine pronouns are generally used in Arabic as a means for referring to both men and women when the meaning is left general and is not otherwise specified. Click on ḥadīth to read more
