[Machine] I entered the grand mosque in Basra and sat next to an old man with white hair and beard. He said to me, "Muath bin Jabal narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, 'Any soul that dies while testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Allah will forgive it as long as it is sincerely believed in.'" I asked him, "Did you hear this from Muath?" As if the people imposed on me, he said, "Do not impose on him or scold him, leave him. Yes, I heard it from Muath who was close to the Messenger of Allah." Ismail once recounted it from the Messenger of Allah. I asked someone, "Who is this?" He said, "This is Abdul Rahman bin Samurah."  

أحمد:٢١٩٩٨حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ هِصَّانَ بْنِ الْكَاهِلِ قَالَ

دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْجَامِعَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْخٍ أَبْيَضِ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ وَهِيَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ يَرْجِعُ ذَاكَ إِلَى قَلْبٍ مُوقِنٍ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ؟ فَكَأَنَّ الْقَوْمَ عَنَّفُونِي قَالَ لَا تُعَنِّفُوهُ وَلَا تُؤَنِّبُوهُ دَعُوهُ نَعَمْ أَنَا سَمِعْتُ ذَاكَ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ يُذَبِّرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَرَّةً يَأْثُرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِبَعْضِهِمْ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ

[Machine] I entered the Grand Mosque in Basra and sat next to an old man with white hair and beard. He said to me, "Mu'adh bin Jabal told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Any soul that dies while testifying that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, Allah will forgive them.' " I asked him, "Did you hear this from Mu'adh bin Jabal?" The people became aggressive towards me, but he said, "Don't be aggressive towards him or blame him. Leave him alone. I heard this from Mu'adh bin Jabal, who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." I asked the people, "Who is this?" They said, "Abdul Rahman bin Samurah."

[Machine] The passage, from the words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, states: "There is no soul that dies testifying that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, except that it returns to a heart of sincerity, and Allah forgives it." I said, "Did you hear this from Muadh bin Jabal?" It seemed like the people were angry with me, so one of them said, "Don't be angry with him. I heard this from Muadh bin Jabal from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." I asked one of them, "Who is this?" They said, "This is Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah."
