Kunna `inda al-nabiyyisallallahu `alayhi wa sallam fa qala hal fikum gharib? ya`ni ahl al-kitab qulnala ya rasulallah fa amara bi ghalqi al-abwabi wa qala irfa`u aydikum wa qulu Lailaha illallah! farafa`na aydina sa`atan thumma qala al-hamdu lillah! allahummainnaka ba`athtani bi hadhihi al-kalimai wa wa`adtani `alayha al-jannata wa antala tukhlifu al-mi`ad! thumma qala abshiru fa innallaha qad ghafara lakum.Ya`la ibn Shaddad relates that his father Shaddad ibn Aws told him as `Ubadaibn al-Samit was present and confirmed it: "We were sitting with Allah'sMessenger and he asked if there was any stranger - the narrator said: i.e.People of the Book - in the gathering. We said that there was none. He said:Shut the door, raise up your hands and say: "There is no god butAllah." We raised our hands and recited the kalima tayyiba for sometime. He then exclaimed: "al-hamdu lillah! O Allah, You have sentme with this word and have ordered me to teach it and have promised me Paradise for it, and You do not take back Your promise.Be glad, for Allah has forgiven you!"
Abd Allah ibn Salam relates: As wewere travelling with Allah's Messenger he heard the people asking: "Whichaction is the best, O Allah's Messenger?" He said: "Belief in Allah,fighting in Allah's way, and pilgrimage that is accepted." After this heheard a call coming from a valley saying: "I bear witness that there is nogod but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" whereupon hesaid: "And I bear witness to the same, and I bear witness that no onebears witness to the same except he clears himself of shirk (associatinga partner to Allah)."
The Prophet -- Allah bless andgreet him -- came out and heard the adhan. When he heard the mu'adhdhin say: Lailaha illallah, he said: khala`a al-andad, which means: "He(the speaker) has disowned (the existence of) partners (to Allah)."
Yakhruju min al-nari man qala Lailaha illallah wa kana fi qalbihi min al-khayri ma yazinu sha`ira, thummayakhruju min al-nari man qala La ilaha illallah wa kana fiqalbihi min al-khayri ma yazinu badhra, thumman yakhruju min al-nari man qalaLa ilaha illallah wa kana fi qalbihi min al-khayri ma yazinu dharra."There will come out of the Fire whoever said: There is no god but Allah,and there is in his heart a bead's worth of goodness; then there will come outof the Fire whoever said: There is no god but Allah, and there is in his hearta grain's worth of goodness; then there will come out of the Fire whoever said:There is no god but Allah, and there is in his heart an atom's worth ofgoodness."
Mu`adh ibn Jabal said that the lasthe spoke with the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- he asked him:"What action is most beloved to Allah?" And the Prophet -- Allahbless and greet him -- replied: "That you die with your tongue still moistwith the mention (dhikr) of Allah." Note that Hadith #29stipulates that the best dhikr is La ilaha illallah.
Ala unabbi'ukum bi khayri a`malikumwa azkaha `inda malikikum wa arfa`iha fi darajatikum wa khayrin lakum mininfaqi al-dhahabi wa al-waraqi wa khayrin lakum min an talqu `aduwwakum fatadribu a`naqahum wa yadribu a`naqakum qalu bala qala dhikrullah. TheProphet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said: "Shall I tell you somethingthat is the best of all deeds, constitutes the best act of piety in the eyes ofyour Lord, will elevate your status in the hereafter, and carries more virtuethan the spending of gold and silver or taking part in just struggle andbattling and being slewn in the Way of God? It is the dhikr orremembrance and mention of Allah."
Ma `amila adamiyyun `amalan anjalahu min `adhabi al-qabri min dhikrillah. The Prophet -- Allah bless andgreet him -- said: "A human being cannot do anything that is moreeffective in saving him from the punishment of the grave than the dhikror remembrance of Allah."
Anas reports that the Prophet --Allah bless and greet him -- was once asked the same question as Mu`adh inhadith earlier , and he replied: "Knowledge of Allah." It was then asked:"And which action adds to this in merit?" He repeated:"Knowledge of Allah." They said: "We ask about actions and youanswer concerning knowledge?" The Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him --said: "A few actions are greatly useful as long as there is knowledge;while a lot of actions are useless if there is ignorance." Anas said:"He spoke of this at length This Hadith is confirmed by Hadith #37and by the first phrase of Hadith #17 whereby "the best deed is belief inAllah alone." The Hadith is further confirmed by our decisive knowledgethat the purpose of creation is knowledge of Allah, as indicated by Ibn`Abbas's explanation of the verse wa ma khalaqna al-jinna wa al-insa illa liya`budun "I did not create the jinn and humankind except to worship(= know) Me" (51:56) and the verse fa`lam annahu La ilaha illallah"Know that there is no god except Allah" (47:19).
Wal-ladhi nafsi bi yadihi lawji'a bi al-samawati wa al-ardi wa man fihinna wa ma baynahunna fa wudi`na fikaffati al-mizani wa wudi`at shahadatu an La ilaha illallahu fi al-kaffatial-ukhra la rajahat bihinna. "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if theheavens and the earth and all that are in them and everything that is inbetween were brought and placed in one pan of the Balance, and the witnessingthat there is no god but Allah were placed in the other, the latter wouldoutweigh the former."
After the passing of the Prophet --Allah bless and greet him -- from this world Abu Bakr said to the Companions:"I asked Allah's Messenger what basic thing was necessary for salvationand he replied that whoever accepts the Word which I brought and which Ioffered to my uncle Abu Talib and which he rejected: this Word constitutessalvation for him." .
Blessingsand peace on the Prophet, his Family, and his Companions.
