Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Hadiths have come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that
for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allahمن قال لا إله إلا الله فإنه
Sahih al-Bukhari 5401
is forbidden from the Fire. So, is the one who does not perform any deed and only says this word deserving of Paradise?

Answer:
If he says it and then dies, he is sealed with it. If he says it with certainty in it and belief in it, and then dies before performing deeds, he enters Paradise. Yes.
