´Al-Agharr Abu Muslim narrated that he bears witness from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah, that they bear witness that :` the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu akbar)’ His Lord affirms his statement and says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, and I am the Greatest,’ and when he say: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, Alone, (Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Me and I am Alone.’ And when he say: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, Alone, without partner, (Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, Alone, I have no partner.’ And when he say: ‘There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him is the praise, (Lā ilāha illallāh, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, to Me belongs all that exists, and to Me is the praise.’ And when he says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and there is no might or power except by Allah, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh)’ Allah says: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Me, and there is no might or power except by Me.’” And he used to say: “Whoever says it in his illness, then dies, the Fire shall not consume him.”
With this chain, Shu’bah narrated from Abu Ishaq, Abu Ishaq from Agharr Abu Muslim, and Abu Muslim from Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa’id al-Khudri a hadith similar in meaning to this hadith, and Shu’bah did not narrate it as marfu’.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
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.
➌
The affirmation by Allah demonstrates the greatness of these remembrances, and therefore their reward will also be very great.
➍
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.
