Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 151
Arabic hadith text
جعل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عند موته يدخل يديه في الماء فيمسح بهما وجههُ ويقول : لا إله إلا الله إن للموت لسكرات
Translation
At the time of his death, the Prophet, Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, would put his hands into water, wipe his face with them, and say: “There is no deity except Allah; indeed, death has agonies.”
Translation notes
لا إله إلا الله
The witness expands the declaration as ‘none worthy of worship but Allah’; the Arabic says ‘there is no deity except Allah.’
Should the explanatory worship gloss be included?
