“Whoever says ten times: ‘None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the praise, [He gives life and causes death,] and He has power over all things, (Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, [yuḥyī wa yumītu,] wa huwa ʿalā kulli shai’in qadīr)’ it is for him equal to freeing four slaves among the offspring of Ismaʿil.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ كَانَتْ لَهُ عِدْلَ أَرْبَعِ رِقَابٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ مَوْقُوفًا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever says, 'There is no god but Allah, alone without any partner. His is the Kingdom and all the praise belongs to Him. He gives life and causes death, and He is Powerful over all things,' ten times, it will be as if he has freed a slave or given life to ten people."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ كَانَ كَعَدْلِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ نَسَمَةٍ»  

He who uttered:" There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him, His is the Sovereignty and all praise is due to Him and He is Potent over everything" ten times, he is like one who emancipated four slaves from the progeny of Isma'il. Rabi' b. Khuthaim narrated a hadith like this. Sha'bi reported: I said to Rabi': From whom did you hear it? He said: From 'Amr b. Maimun. I came to 'Amr b. Maimun and said to him: From whom did you hear this hadith? He said: from Ibn Abi Laila. I came to Ibn Abi Laila and said to him: From whom did you hear this hadith? He said: From Abu Ayyub Ansari, who narrated from Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2693)   

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَنْفُسٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِلرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ مِنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ فَأَتَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ فَقُلْتُ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ مِنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقُلْتُ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ مِنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

"مَنْ قَال: لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلكُ وَلَهُ الحمدُ، يُحْيي ويُمِيتُ وهُوَ عَلَى كلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ مَرَّةً أَوْ عَشْرَ مَرَّات كان لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِعِدْلِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ عَشْر رِقَاب".
