The Shaykh : Among the benefits of this hadith is that it is obligatory for a person to declare with his tongue what he believes in his heart regarding the exclusivity of Allah in worship, and the establishment of servitude and messengership for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), based on his saying: Sunan an-Nasa'i 3278Sahih (Darussalam) Because mere affirmation in the heart is not sufficient; rather, it is necessary to speak with the tongue. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 3983Sahih (Darussalam), and he said: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 1:325 So he said: "Say it," for it is necessary to have the speech along with the belief.
Among the benefits of the hadith is that there is no true deity except Allah, and branching from this benefit is that everything worshipped other than Allah is invalid.
Among the benefits of the hadith is the affirmation of the servitude of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), based on the phrase "His slave." Branching from this is the refutation of those who exaggerate regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who claim that he is a Lord or that he has a share of lordship through providing relief from distress, answering supplications, and the like. We have witnessed scenes in the Prophet's Mosque that indicate this, where some of the common people, when they want to make supplication, turn toward the grave and make the qiblah to their right and remain silent, as if they are standing before Allah, as if they are praying, may Allah protect us from that. This is undoubtedly exaggeration, whether they are supplicating to Allah while facing the grave or supplicating to the occupant of the grave (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
Among the benefits of the hadith is the affirmation of the messengership of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), based on the phrase "and His Messenger."
Among its benefits as well is the honoring of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) by attributing his servitude and messengership to Allah.
Among the benefits of the hadith is the affirmation of Allah's mercy toward creation, where He sent to them a Messenger from among themselves, of their kind, and did not make him an angel. Because if He had made him an angel, meaning if He had sent an angel to the people of the earth from among the humans, He would have made him a man, meaning in the form of a man, because humans do not become accustomed to one who is not of their kind, and he also would not become accustomed to them. For this reason, Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:8-9] meaning: confusion would have befallen them as they claim, whereas the Messenger that Allah sends from among humans is not confused, because Allah gives him signs by which humans believe in their like. So Allah the Exalted does not send a man who says to people, "I am the Messenger of Allah to you, believe in me, and whoever disbelieves in me, I will make his blood and his family lawful," but rather He gives him signs by which humans believe in their like.
Then the author said, in what was narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), or in what he transmitted from what Jabir narrated, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Perhaps we can speak a little about the verses, or is there a need?

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah
وأشهد أن لا إله إلا اللهI have been commanded to fight the people until they bear witness to La ilaha illallah
أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا اللهO people, say "There is no deity except Allah" and you will succeed
يا أيها الناس، قولوا لا إله إلا الله تفلحواAmong the benefits of the hadith is that there is no true deity except Allah, and branching from this benefit is that everything worshipped other than Allah is invalid.

For this reason, Allah the Exalted said:
(8) And they say, "Why was there not sent down to him an angel?" But if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided; then they would not be reprieved. (9) And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves.
