Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas Narrated from:
Allah'S Messenger Said: "Whoever Says, When He Hears The Mu'Adh-Dhin: (Wa Ana Ashadu An La Ilaha Illallah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu, Wa Anna Muhammadan Abduhu Wa Rasuluhu, Radittu Billahi Rabban Wa Bil-Islam Dinan, Wa Bi Muhammadin Rasulan) 'I Too Testify That None Has The Right To Be Worshiped But Allah, Alone Without Partners, And That Muhammad Is His Slave And Messenger, I Am Pleased With Allah As My Lord, With Islam As My Religion And Muhammad As A Messenger.' - Allah Will Pardon His Sins For Him."
