حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ , عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق , عَنْ الْأَغَرِّ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ , أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ , أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ , قَالَ : يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : صَدَقَ عَبْدِي , لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا , وَأَنَا أَكْبَرُ , وَإِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ , قَالَ : صَدَقَ عَبْدِي , لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي , وَإِذَا قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ , قَالَ : صَدَقَ عَبْدِي , لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا , وَلَا شَرِيكَ لِي , وَإِذَا قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، قَالَ : صَدَقَ عَبْدِي , لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا , لِي الْمُلْكُ وَلِيَ الْحَمْدُ , وَإِذَا قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ , قَالَ : صَدَقَ عَبْدِي , لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِي " , قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاق : ثُمَّ قَالَ : الْأَغَرُّ شَيْئًا لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ , قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ : مَا قَالَ , فَقَالَ : مَنْ رُزِقَهُنَّ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ، لَمْ تَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah and Abu Saeed bore witness that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:` "If a person says: 'La ilaha illallahu wa Allahu Akbar (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Allah is the Most Great),'Allah says: 'My slave has spoken the truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, and I am the Most Great.' If a person says: La ilaha Illallah wahdahu (There is none worthy of worship except Allah alone), Allah says: 'My slave has spoken the truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, alone.' If he says, La ilaha illallahu la sharikalahu (There is none worthy of worship except Allah with no partner or associate),' Allah says: 'My slave has spoken the truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, with no partner or associate.' If he says: 'La illah illallah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu (There is none worthy of worship except Allah, all dominion is His and all praise is to Him),' Allah says: 'My slave has spoken the truth; there is none of worthy of worship except I, all dominion Mine and all praise is due to Me.' If he says: ' La illaha illallah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is none worthy of worship and there is no power and no strength except with Allah),' Allah says: 'My slave has spoken then truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, and tehre is no power and no strength except with Me.' One of the narrators Abu Ishaq said: "Then Agharr (another narrator) said something that I did not understand. I said to Abu Jafar: 'What did he say?' He said: 'Whoever is blessed with (the ability to say) them (these words) at the time of death, the Fire will not touch him.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: In this, the individual words of the phrase of glorification (kalimah tamjid) are mentioned separately. The complete phrase is as follows, which it is Sunnah to recite after every prayer: «لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له الملك وله الحمد و هو على كل شيئ قدير لاإله إلا الله والله أكبرلا حول ولا قوة إلا باللهالعلى العظيم».

Benefits and Issues:

➊
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, and he has further written that the narration is authentic as a mawquf (statement of a Companion), whereas other scholars have deemed it authentic as a marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and their opinion appears closer to correctness.
And Allah knows best.
Therefore, despite the narration being weak in its chain, it is actionable and authoritative due to other supporting evidences.
For further details, see:
(al-Silsilah al-Sahihah: 3/378, 379, no. 1390)

➋ (La ilaha illallah)
is the greatest reality, and the aforementioned remembrances are an acknowledgment of this reality; thus, Allah the Exalted also affirms them.

➌
The affirmation by Allah demonstrates the greatness of these remembrances, and therefore their reward will also be very great.

➍
If, in the case of accidental death, one does not get the opportunity to say (La ilaha illallah) with the tongue, then certainty and conviction in the heart will be a cause for forgiveness, insha Allah.
Because in the hadith, various forms of accidental death have been declared as martyrdom.

Tirmidhi — Hadith 3430
´Al-Agharr Abu Muslim narrated that he bears witness from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah, that they bear witness that :` the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu akbar)’ His Lord affirms his statement and says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, and I am the Greatest,’ and when he say: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, Alone, (Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Me and I am Alone.’ And when he say: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, Alone, without partner, (Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, Alone, I have no partner.’ And when he say: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him is the praise, (Lā ilāha illallāh, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, to Me belongs all that exists, and to Me is the praise.’ And when he says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and there is no might or power except by Allah, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, and there is no might or power except by Me.’” And he used to say: “Whoever says it in his illness, then dies, the Fire shall not consume him.”
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
