حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى النُّورِيُّ ، بِبَغْدَادَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الدَّيْبُلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَغْرَاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الأَغَرِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالا : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "مَنْ قَالَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ : لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ ، لَمْ تَطْعَمْهُ النَّارُ أَبَدًا "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْحَضْرَمِيِّ الْكُوفِيِّ ، إِلا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَغْرَاءَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَحْيَى
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them) say: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites at the time of death: ﴿LĀ ILĀHA ILLALLĀH, WALLĀHU AKBAR, WALĀ ḤAWLA WALĀ QUWWATA ILLĀ BILLĀH﴾, the Fire will not consume him."

Benefits and Issues:


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.


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


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.
