Sunan Ibn Majah 4300 (Book 37, Hadith 201) #33656
The Power of Testifying to Allah's Oneness

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, a man from the nation of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will be called before all creation and will be presented with ninety-nine scrolls. When asked if he denies anything written in them, he will say no. He will then be presented with a card on which is written "Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu" (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). The card will weigh heavily compared to the scrolls in the Balance.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man from my nation will be called before all of creation on the Day of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread out for him, each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah will say: "Do you deny anything of this?" He will say: "No, O Lord". He will say: "Have My recording scribes been unfair to you?" Then He will say: "Apart from that, do you have any good deeds?" The man will be terrified and will say: "No". (Allah) will say: "Indeed, you have good deeds with Us, and you will not be treated unjustly this Day". Then a card will be brought out on which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). He will say: "O Lord, what is this card compared with these scrolls?" He will say: "You will not be treated unjustly". Then the scrolls will be placed in one side of the Balance and the card in the other. The scrolls will go up (ie, be light) and the card will go down (ie, will weigh heavily)".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ ‏ "‏ يُصَاحُ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلاَئِقِ فَيُنْشَرُ لَهُ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ سِجِلاًّ كُلُّ سِجِلٍّ مَدَّ الْبَصَرِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَلْ تُنْكِرُ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا فَيَقُولُ لاَ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ أَظَلَمَتْكَ كَتَبَتِي الْحَافِظُونَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَلَكَ عُذْرٌ أَلَكَ حَسَنَةٌ فَيُهَابُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى إِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَنَا حَسَنَاتٍ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ ظُلْمَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ فَتُخْرَجُ لَهُ بِطَاقَةٌ فِيهَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذِهِ الْبِطَاقَةُ مَعَ هَذِهِ السِّجِلاَّتِ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تُظْلَمُ ‏.‏ فَتُوضَعُ السِّجِلاَّتُ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَالْبِطَاقَةُ فِي كِفَّةٍ فَطَاشَتِ السِّجِلاَّتُ وَثَقُلَتِ الْبِطَاقَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْبِطَاقَةُ الرُّقْعَةُ وَأَهْلُ مِصْرَ يَقُولُونَ لِلرُّقْعَةِ بِطَاقَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how powerful it is to testify that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and that Prophet Muhammad PBUH is His slave and messenger. On the day of resurrection, a man from Prophet Muhammed's nation will stand before all creation with ninety-nine scrolls containing his deeds throughout his life. When asked if he denies anything written in them, he answers no. Then Allah SWT presents him with a card on which it reads “Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu” or “I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger”. This single statement outweighs all his deeds combined as shown by its weight when placed on one side of balance against all ninety nine scrolls placed on other side! This hadith teaches us how powerful it can be when we testify our faith in God Almighty alone without associating any partners with Him or denying any part of His religion as taught by Prophet Muhammed PBUH .
