Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Reward of bearing witness that there is no God except Allah
أَبِی رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمُؤَدِّبُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْأَصْبَهَانِیِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِی هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ الْخُدْرِیِّ قَالَ: کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَاتَ یَوْمٍ جَالِساً وَ عِنْدَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِیهِمْ عَلِیُّ بْنُ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع إِذْ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّهَ فَقَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّمَا تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَهُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِنْ هَذَا وَ مِنْ شِیعَتِهِ الَّذِینَ أَخَذَ رَبُّنَا مِیثَاقَهُمْ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلَانِ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهِ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَدَهُ عَلَی رَأْسِ عَلِیٍّ ع ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَامَهُ ذَلِکَ أَنْ لَا تَحُلَّا عَقْدَهُ وَ لَا تَجْلِسَا مَجْلِسَهُ وَ لَا تُکَذِّبَا حَدِیثَهُ.
1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. al-Hassan Mu’addab from Ahmad b. Ali al-Asbahani from Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi from Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ishaq from Abi Harun al-’Abdi from Abi Sa’eed al-Khudri who said: The Messenger of Allah (sw) was sitting on a certain day, and with him were some of his companions, among them Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS). So he (sw) said, "Whoever says 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no god but Allah) shall enter Paradise." Two men from his companions said, "We say 'La ilaha illallah'". The Messenger of Allah (sw) replied, "The testimony of 'There is no god but Allah' is accepted only from this person and his Shia (followers) who have taken the covenant of our Lord." The two men said, "We say 'La ilaha illallah'". Then the Messenger of Allah (sw) placed his hand on the head of Ali (AS) and said, "The sign (of acceptance of the statement of La ilaha illallah) is that one should not break oaths given to him, nor sit in his place or reject his words."
