[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."

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."
