If, at the moment of death, a Muslim brother prompts the dying person to say, “There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah,” that single statement is worth the whole world and all it contains. So whenever you are present with someone in the throes of death, be keen to prompt him with “There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah,” obeying the Prophet’s command ﷺ and showing kindness to that person. Perhaps Allah, in turn, will prompt you at your own final hour, for the Prophet ﷺ said, “Allah is in the servant’s aid so long as the servant is in his brother’s aid.” May Allah conclude our lives and yours with this testimony.
إذا لقنه أخوه عند الموت قول لا إله إلا الله فهذه تساوي الدنيا كلها فإذا حضرت أحدا وهو يحتضر فاحرص على تلقينه لا إله إلا الله امتثالا لأمر النبي ﷺ وإحسانا لهذا الشخص وربما يلقنك الله ﷾ عند موتك لأن النبي ﷺ قال والله في عون العبد مادام العبد في عون أخيه ختم الله لنا ولكم بالشهادة
