There is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Most High, the Most Great. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the seven earths and what is between them, and the Lord of the Great Throne. And all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord of the worlds.' If the dying person recited this, Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام would say to him: 'Go, and there is no harm upon you.'"
