Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there are two statements, one of which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the other I say from myself. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in a state in which he associates partners with Allah, he will enter Hell," and I say that whoever dies in a state in which he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise.
