Sayyiduna ‘Ubada (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever bears witness that ‘There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, and ‘Isa (peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, and he (‘Isa, peace be upon him) is His word which He cast to Maryam (peace be upon her), and a spirit from Him, and that Paradise is true, and that Hellfire is true’—then Allah will admit him into Paradise (sooner or later), no matter what his deeds may be.”
