The Rewards & Punishments of Deeds · Hadith 23 (#Ḥadīth #2)

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عِمْرَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَطَاءٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: مَا مِنَ الْکَلَامِ کَلِمَهٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَی اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ یَمُدُّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَیَفْرُغُ إِلَّا تَنَاثَرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَیْهِ کَمَا تَنَاثَرَ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ تَحْتَهَا.

2. My father said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hussain b. Sayf from Sulayman b. Umar who said it was narrated to me by ’Imran b. ’Ata who said it was narrated to me by ’Ata from Ibn Abbas from The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “Allah likes the statement of Laa ilaaha illallaah much more than any other statement in this world. The sins of a person who recites Laa ilaaha illallaah are wiped out in the same way as dry leaves fall off a tree.”
