The Ruling on Guiding a Disbeliever

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it prescribed to be present with a dying disbeliever and guide him?

A: It is prescribed to do so if it is feasible. There was a Jewish servant with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who fell ill, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to visit him and guided him, saying:
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostleقل أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 462
The Jew looked at his parents, and they said to him, “Obey Abu al-Qasim,” so he said it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Praise be to Allah Who has saved him through me from Hellالحمد لله الذي أنقذه بي من النار
Sunan Abi Dawud 3095Sahih (Al-Albani)
