Ibn AAumar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on return from a battle or from performing the pilgrimage would say at every high point: Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. ‘Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest.’ …and then he would say: La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, wahuwa AAala kulli shay-in qadeer, ayiboona ta-iboon, AAabidoon, lirabbina hamidoon, sadaqal-lahu waAAdah, wanasara AAabdah, wahazamal-ahzaba wahdah. ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things omnipotent. We return, repent, worship and praise our Lord. Allah fulfilled His promise, aided His Servant, and single-handedly defeated the allies.’
