that his father offered him to the Prophet ﷺ to serve him. He said: “So the Prophet ﷺ passed by me, and I had just performed Salat, so he poked me with his foot and said: ‘Should I not direct you to a gate from the gates of Paradise?’ I said: ‘Of course.’ He ﷺ said: ‘There is no might or power except with Allah (Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh).’”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ ثنا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَنْصُورَ بْنَ زَاذَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَيْمُونَ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَخْدُمُهُ فَمَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ»
