Majma al-Zawaid 3915 — Prompting the dying to say La ilaha illallah

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ : " لَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَإِنَّ نَفْسَ الْمُؤْمِنِ تَخْرُجُ رَشْحًا ، وَنَفْسُ الْكَافِرِ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ شِدْقِهِ كَمَا تَخْرُجُ نَفْسُ الْحِمَارِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this as a marfu' hadith (attributed to the Prophet) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Prompt those of you who are on the verge of death to say 'La ilaha illallah', for the soul of the believer comes out with sweat, while the soul of the disbeliever comes out from the corners of his mouth, just as the soul of a donkey comes out."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain is hasan (good).
