Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the requirement that one's last words be "There is no God but Allah" an exception to the dhikr at sleep (the hadith: "O Allah, I submit my self...")?
Answer:
This is regarding death. This came in a hadith concerning death. This is specific, and that is general. It is recommended to increase the remembrance of Allah during illness, especially when the signs of death appear, so that one's last words are "There is no God but Allah."
And this is regarding sleep, where the last thing one says is: "O Allah, I submit my self..."
