Verily, I ask you by my testifying that there is no God worthy of worship except You. You are the One, the Self-Sufficient Sustainer of all, Who does not give birth, nor were You born, and there is none comparable to Him.'' The Prophet said,

"By He in Whose Hand is my soul, verily he has asked Him by His Greatest Name. It is His Name that if He is asked by it He will give, and if He is called upon by it He will answer."[An-Nasai in Al-Kubra, Tuhafat Al-Ashraf 2:90]

The other Sunan compilers have also recorded this Hadith[Abu Dawud no.1493, At-Tirmidhi no.3475, and Ibn Majah no.3857.], At-Tirmidhi said "Hasan Gharib."
