[Machine] "I came to Kufa for trade and I stayed near Al-A'mash. When it was night, I intended to descend, but he stood up and performed Tahajjud prayer. I passed by him reciting this verse: 'Allah bears witness that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.' Then Al-A'mash said, 'I bear witness to what Allah has borne witness to, and I entrust this testimony to Allah, and it is in His custody: 'Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.' He repeated it several times. I said, 'Indeed, I heard something in it,' so I went to him the next morning and bid him farewell. Then I said, 'O Abu Muhammad, I heard you reciting this verse repeatedly.' He said, 'So, you did not understand its meaning?' I said, 'I have been with you for a month and you have not informed me.' He said, 'By Allah, I will inform you of its meaning after a year.' So, I stayed for a year, and I was at his door. When the year passed, I said, 'O Abu Muhammad, the year has passed.' He said, 'Abu Wa'il informed me from Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The one who brings this verse with its companion on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will say: My servant fulfilled his covenant, and I am more entitled to fulfill the covenant. Bring My servant into Paradise.'"
