It was narrated from Abu Hurairah and Abu Saeed bore witness that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:”If a person says:
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
‘La ilaha illallahu wa Allahu Akbar
(None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Allah is the Most Great),’
Allah says: ‘My slave has spoken the truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, and I am the Most Great.’
If a person says:
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ
La ilaha Illallah wahdahu
(There is none worthy of worship except Allah alone),
Allah says: ‘My slave has spoken the truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, alone.’
If he says,
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ
La ilaha illallahu la sharikalahu
(There is none worthy of worship except Allah with no partner or associate),’
Allah says: ‘My slave has spoken the truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, with no partner or associate.’
If he says:
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ
‘La illah illallah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu
(There is none worthy of worship except Allah, all dominion is His and all praise is to Him),’
Allah says: ‘My slave has spoken the truth; there is none of worthy of worship except I, all dominion Mine and all praise is due to Me.’
If he says: ‘
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ
La illaha illallah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
(There is none worthy of worship and there is no power and no strength except with Allah),’
Allah says: ‘My slave has spoken then truth; there is none worthy of worship except I, and tehre is no power and no strength except with Me.’
One of the narrators Abu Ishaq said: “Then Agharr (another narrator) said something that I did not understand. I said to Abu Jafar: ‘What did he say?’ He said:
‘Whoever is blessed with (the ability to say) them (these words) at the time of death, the Fire will not touch him.
‘”حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَغَرِّ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
“ إِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ . قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَدَقَ عَبْدِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنَا وَأَنَا أَكْبَرُ .

The other Hadith about LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH
Abu Sa`eed al-Khudri said, that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The Messenger of Allah (Sall’Allahu alayhi wa salam) said (narrated by Jabir bin `Abdullah):
“Moses (Alayhi salam) said:
O my Rabb! Teach me something that I can remember You with and I can supplicate You with.
Allah said: “Say ‘La ilaha ill Allah’, O Musa.”
He (Musa) said: All of your servants say this.
He (Allah) said:
“If the seven Heavens and those who dwell in them other than Me and the seven Earths are put into one pan (of the scale) and ‘La ilaha ill Allah’ is put into the other; ‘La ilaha ill Allah’ would be heavier.”
[Ibn Hibbaan and Haakim]
“The best Dhikr (remembering Allah) is La ilaha illallah
and the best supplication is Al-Hamdu Lillah.”
[At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah]
