Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Translation

Abu Saeed and Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Prompt your dying ones to say: There is no god but Allah." Muslim transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • لَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ

    The plural can be read literally as your dead, but the established instruction concerns prompting a person near death to recite the testimony.

    Should the wording remain literal as your dead, or use the contextual sense your dying ones?
