Sahih Muslim 2704f (Book 48, Hadith 61) #13938
Closeness of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah is closer to us than our own possessions and there is no power except that of Allah.

Abu Musa, reported. We were along with Allah's Messenger in an expedition. The rest of the hadith is the same (and there is an addition of these words in that): " He (the Holy Prophet) said: He Whom you are supplicating is nearer to every one of you than the neck of his camel". And there is no mention of these words:" There is no might and no power but that of Allah".
وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي غَزَاةٍ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي تَدْعُونَهُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ عُنُقِ رَاحِلَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ذِكْرُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ
