من كان آخر كلامه "لا إله إلا الله" دخل الجنة

Translation

Whoever has “There is no deity except Allah” as his final words will enter Paradise.

Translation notes
  • من كان آخر كلامه "لا إله إلا الله" دخل الجنة

    The witness adds an explanatory parenthesis (‘whose meaning is’) and explicitly mentions dying; the Arabic simply says whoever’s last words are this declaration will enter Paradise.

    Should the witness’s explanatory gloss be included?
