حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ ، عَنِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ ، فَبَكَيْتُ ، فَقَالَ : مَهْلًا لِمَ تَبْكِي ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنِ اسْتُشْهِدْتُ لَأَشْهَدَنَّ لَكَ ، وَلَئِنِ شُفِّعْتُ لَأَشْفَعَنَّ لَكَ ، وَلَئِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَأَنْفَعَنَّكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْ حَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَكُمْ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ ، إِلَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا ، وَسَوْفَ أُحَدِّثُكُمُوهُ الْيَوْمَ وَقَدْ أُحِيطَ بِنَفْسِي ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ " .
It is narrated on the authority of Sunabihi that he went to Ubadah bin Samit when he was about to die. I burst into tears. Upon this he said to me: Allow me some time (so that I may talk with you). Why do you weep? By Allah, if I am asked to bear witness, I would certainly testify for you (that you are a believer). Should I be asked to intercede, I would certainly intercede for you, and if I have the power, I would certainly do good to you, and then observed: By Allah, never did I hear anything from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) which could have been a source of benefit to you and then not conveyed it to you except this single hadith. That I intend to narrate to you today, since I am going to breathe my last. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: He who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, Allah would prohibit the fire of Hell for him.
