وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا فَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، قَالَ:

مَرِضَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ أَصْحَابُهُ يَعُودُونَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَجْلِسُونِي، فَأَجْلَسُوهُ فَقَالَ: كَلِمَةٌ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: مَنْ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِهِ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، هَدَمَتْ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهَا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا، فَلَقِّنُوهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ، قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَكَيْفَ هِيَ لِلْأَحْيَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: أَهْدَمُ وَأَهْدَمُ

✧ Mu'adh b. Jabal ؓ fell ill, and his companions came to visit him. He said: Sit me up. So they sat him up. Then he said: A word I heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ: "Whoever's last words at death are 'There is no god but God alone, with no partner,' it demolishes the sins and errors that came before it. So prompt your dying ones with it." They said: O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, how is it for the living? He said: It demolishes even more, even more.
