Dealing with the deceased at the moment of death and teaching them the testimony of faith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, he says: Shaykh, what is the Shari'ah ruling on dealing with the deceased at the moment of his death? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The prescribed manner is to teach them to say, "There is no god but Allah." If they say it, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
‘Urge your dying ones to say La ilaha illallah.”لقنوا موتاكم لا إله إلا الله
Sunan Ibn Majah 1444Sahih (Darussalam)
meaning those who are on their deathbed. Whoever's last words are "There is no god but Allah" will enter Paradise. So, teach them to say "There is no god but Allah" gently. If they speak after that, it is repeated to them a second time gently until it becomes their last words. Yes.
