Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bilal! Announce among the people: whoever says La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah) before he dies will enter Paradise, whether he (says this word) a year before (his death), or a month before, or a week before, or a day before, or a moment before."
He said: "In that case they will rely on this alone." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if they rely on it."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; it contains a narrator, al-Minhal bin Khalifah, who is munkar al-hadith (his narrations are rejected).
