Riyad as-Salihin, 1411
Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He who utters ten times: 'La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahulmulku wa lahulhamdu, wa Huwa 'ala kulli sha'in Qadir (there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),' he will have a reward equal to that for freeing four slaves from the progeny of Prophet (ﷺ) Isma'il." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي أيوب الأنصاري رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
من قال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير، عشر مرات، كان كمن أعتق أربعة أنفس من ولد إسماعيل
((متفق عليه)).
