[Machine] Narrated by a sheikh who encountered the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "I went on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ and we passed by a man who was reciting the verse 'Say, O disbelievers.' The Prophet ﷺ commented, 'As for this person, he has been saved from polytheism.' Then, when the man started reciting the verse 'Say, He is Allah, the One,' the Prophet ﷺ said, 'By reciting this verse, Paradise has become obligatory for him.'"

عَنْ شَيْخٍ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَمَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ قَالَ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ قَالَ وَإِذَا آخَرُ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِهَا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

[Machine] A man, who was not mentioned by the Prophet's companions that he had heard a man, meaning the Prophet, reciting "Say, O disbelievers," said, "As for this, it means that he has been cleared of polytheism," and he heard another reciting "Say, He is Allah, the One."

عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ قَالَ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَسَمِعَ آخَرَ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ
