[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."
