Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا طَالِبٍ الْوَفَاةُ جَاءَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ كَلِمَةً. أُحَاجُّ لَكَ بِهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ".
Translation
Abu al-Yaman narrated to us; Shuaib informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Said ibn al-Musayyab informed me, from his father, who said: When death came to Abu Talib, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him and said: Say, There is no god but Allah, a word by which I can plead for you before Allah.
