Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that whenever Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came back from the battle or from expeditions or from Hajj or Umra and as he reached the top of the hillock or upon the elevated hard ground, he uttered Allaah-o- Akbar thrice, and then said: there is none worthy of worship (in truth) but Allaah. He is One, there is no partner with Him, His is the sovereignty and His is the praise and He is Potent over everything. (We are) returning, repenting, worshipping, prostrating before our Lord, and we praise Him Allaah fulfilled His promise and helped His servant, and routed the confederates alone.
