1) Being Blessed with a Treasure from Jannah

عن أبي هريرة قال: قال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أكثر من قول لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، فإنها من كنز الجنة (سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 3601)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to him, “Recite Laa Hawla Wala Quwwata illa Billah abundantly, as it is from the treasure of Jannah.”

عن أبي ذر، قال: قال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ألا أدلك على كنز من كنوز الجنة؟ قلت: بلى، قال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله (سنن ابن ماجة، الرقم: 3825)

Hazrat Abu Zar (radhiyallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to him, “Should I not show you (a way to acquire) a treasure from the treasures of Jannah?” Hazrat Abu Zar (radhiyallahu anhu) replied, “Yes, indeed.” Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “(Recite) Laa Hawla Wala Quwwata illa Billah.”
