once said to his Companions [r]:
One day Prophet Musa [a] prayed to
Almighty Allah to teach him some
form of
dhikr
for his remembrance.
Allah commanded him to recite, “
La-
ilaha illallah (There is no god but
Allah)!
”
Musa [a] said, “
O my Lord! but this
dhikr is recited by all of creation.
”
Again came the reply, “
Recite ‘La-
ilaha illallah!’ ”
Musa [a] asked once more “
My
Sustainer, I want something special,
meant for me alone.
”
Almighty Allah said, “
O Musa! If the
seven heavens and the seven
earths were placed in one pan of a
scale, and the words ‘La-ilaha illal-
lah’ (There is no god but Allah) in
the other, these words would out-
weigh the heavens and earths
together.
