Takbīr (تكبير, تَكْبِيرًا )

Exclaim the greatness of Allah-azwj

وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ ۖ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًا {111}

And say: ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111]

العياشي: عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه (عليهما السلام) قال: «قال النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله) و قد فقد رجلا، فقال: ما أبطأ بك عنا؟ فقال: السقم و العيال

Al Ayyashi, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘A man was lost (absent for a long time), so he-saww said: ‘What made you to be delayed (to come and see) us-saww?’ So he said, ‘Illness, and the dependants’.

فقال: ألا أعلمك بكلمات تدعو بهن، و يذهب الله عنك السقم و ينفي عنك الفقر؟ تقول: لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم، توكلت على الحي الذي لا يموت، و الحمد لله الذي لم يتخذ ولدا و لم يكن له شريك في الملك، و لم يكن له ولي من الذل و كبره تكبيرا

He-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww teach you certain Words which, if you were to supplicate with, Allah-azwj would Make the illness to go away, and banish the poverty away from you? You should say, ‘There is no Might and no Strength except by Allah-azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent. I rely upon the Living Who does not die. The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a sin, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations [17:111]’.[1]
