Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas (Radhi Allaahu Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: If anyone says on hearing the Mu’adhdhin:
وَأَنا أَشْـهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ وَحْـدَهُ لا شَـريكَ لَـه ، وَأَنَّ محَمّـداً عَبْـدُهُ وَرَسـولُه ، رَضيـتُ بِاللهِ رَبَّاً ، وَبِمُحَمَّـدٍ رَسـولاً وَبِالإِسْلامِ دينَـاً .
Wa ‘anaa ashhadu an laa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, wa ‘anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasooluhu, radheetu billaahi Rabban, wa bi Muhammadin Rasoolan wa bil islami deenan.
‘I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah alone, Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as my Messenger and with Islam as my religion.’
his sins would be forgiven [1]
