Dua and prayer at the time of Death: Protection from Hell Fire

 From Abu Sa’eed and Abu Hurairah RadhiAllaahu anhumma that they testified that the Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said: 


‘Whoever said:


لأ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَالله أَكْبَر


There is none worthy of worship except Allaah, Allaah is the greatest


Then his Lord accepts this and says there is none worthy of worship except Me and I am the greatest.


When he says


      لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وَحْدَهُ،

There is none worthy of worship except Allaah Alone.


The Prophet said that Allaah says There is none worthy of worship except Me Alone.


And when he says 


   لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله لَا شَرِيكَ لَه

There is none worthy of worship except Allaah and He has no associate with Him


the Prophet said that Allaah says My slave has been truthful there is none worthy of worship except Me and I have no associate with Me.


And when he said 


     لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وحده لَا شَرِيكَ لَه

  لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ

There is none worthy of worship except Allaah Alone with no associate, His is the Dominion and for Him is the praise,


the Prophet said that Allaah says  there is none worthy of worship except Me, for Me is the Dominion and for Me is the praise.


When he says 


لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِالله

There is none worthy of worship except Allaah and there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah


Allaah says there is none worthy of worship except Me and there is no capability nor is there any power except from Me.


Whoever is given the ability to say these at the time of his death will not be touched by the fire.’
