The questioner : Regarding... you say, "La ilaha illa Allah, He alone has no partner, He is the King, His is the praise, and He is over all things competent. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah." Does "La quwwata illa billah" appear after that in what is found in Sahih al-Kalim al-Tayyib? "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, wa la quwwata illa billah. La ilaha illa Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the blessing, His is the favor, and His is the good praise. La ilaha illa Allah, sincere to Him in religion, even if the disbelievers hate." Regarding "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," does "La quwwata illa billah" appear after it, or is it a phrase that occurred by mistake?
