I read an amazing authentic hadeeth the other day that I’ve never heard before:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: “إِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ“، [...]
