Hadiths On The Merit Of Saying La-Ilaha-Ill-Allah

SHAHADA

Hadith

The Prophet ﷺ said

Whoever witnesses that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger, Allah forbids the Fire from touching him.

Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim from ‘Ubada ibn al-Samit.

Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari, book of riqaq ch. 14 (1989 ed. 11:324) says that the hadiths of “Allah forbids the Fire from touching him” are even more explicit than those of “Allah will enter him into Paradise” in establishing that the one who declares Allah’s oneness is saved even if he does not heed the orders and the prohibitions.

Hadith

Whoever says: There is no God but Allah enters Paradise.

Tabarani narrated it from Abu Dharr in the Kabir (7:55), Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (31), al-Hakim in his Mustadrak (4:251), al-Mundhiri in al-Targhib (2:422), al-Haythami in Majma’ al-zawa’id (1:18), Ibn ‘Adi (7:2639), Abu Nu‘aym in the Hilya (7:174), and al-Bazzar from ‘Umar.

Hadith

The Prophet ﷺ said

Suhayl ibn Bayda’ reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
“Verily, whoever testifies there is no God but Allah, then Allah will forbid him from entering Hellfire and require him to enter Paradise.”
