In Al-Nasāʾī’s narration from Abū Hurairah alone, [who attributed
it to Prophet ﷺ
and said]:
Whoever says:1
لاَ إِلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ واللَّهُ أَكْبَر،
لاَ إِلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ،
لاَ إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ،
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَهُ المُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ،
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا باللَّهِ
-he
counted them as five on his fingers-and then said: “Whoever says them during a
day or during a night or in a month and then dies on that day or that night or
that month, will have his sins forgiven.”

1There is nothing to be worshiped in truth except Allāh, and Allāh is the greatest; there is nothing to be
worshiped in truth except Allāh alone; there is nothing to be worshiped in
truth except Allāh, and He has no one sharing [anything] with Him; there is
nothing to be worshiped in truth except Allāh – to Him alone do all things
belong and the decision over all things, and to Him alone is due all praise and
gratitude; there is nothing to be worshiped in truth except Allāh, and there is
no changing any situation and no ability to do so except as Allāh wills and
ordains.
