Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I embraced the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to my chest and supported him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever says LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH seeking the pleasure of Allah’s Countenance, and dies upon that, will enter Paradise. Whoever fasts one day seeking the pleasure of Allah’s Countenance, and dies upon that, will also enter Paradise. And whoever gives charity seeking the pleasure of Allah’s Countenance, and dies upon that, will also enter Paradise.
