Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is adding “wa wahdahu la sharika lahu” after I say “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah” something that is established?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it was not established in the hadith of Ibn Mas’ud, the first hadith in this chapter. Do you refer to that?

Yes, it was established in some narrations. “Having no partner” was established in some narrations. There is no harm. Yes.
