ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ إِنَّمَا تَجِبُ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ، وَقَرَنَ ذَلِكَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ لِلْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ بِالرِّسَالَةِ
Allow me some time (so that I may talk with you). Why do you weep? By Allah, if I am asked to bear witness, I would certainly testify for you (that you are a believer). Should I be asked to intercede, I would certainly intercede for you, and if I have the power, I would certainly do good to you, and then observed: By Allah, never did I hear anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which could have been a source of benefit to you and then not conveyed it to you except this single hadith. That I intend to narrate to you today, since I am going to breathe my last. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, Allah would prohibit the fire of Hell for him. (Using translation from Muslim 29)
لِي مَهْ لِمَ تَبْكِي؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنَ اسْتُشْهِدْتُ لَأَشْهَدَنَّ لَكَ وَلَئِنْ شُفِّعْتَ لَأَشْفَعَنَّ لَكَ وَلَئِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَأَنْفَعَنَّكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْ حَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَكُمْ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ إِلَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا وَسَوْفَ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ الْيَوْمَ وَقَدْ أُحِيطَ بِنَفْسِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ»
