Whoever utters the following phrase with firm conviction from the heart, his sins will be forgiven.
«أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ الله»
It is due to these very blessings of this noble phrase that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam emphasized frequent remembrance of it during his lifetime, as is narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu, who reports that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«أَكْثِرُوا مِنْ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ قَبْلَ أَن يُحَالَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَهَا وَلَقَنُوهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ» [صحيحه: 467]
“Bear witness frequently to the oneness of Allah, the only true deity, before there comes between you and it any barrier, and prompt those near death to say it.”
