Jami at-Tirmidhi 2639 (Book 40, Hadith 34) #28274
The Reward for Testifying to Allah's Oneness

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the immense reward that awaits a person who testifies to the oneness of Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed Allah will distinguish a man from my Ummah before all of creation on the Day of Judgement. Ninety-nine scrolls will be laid out for him, each scroll is as far as the eye can see, then He will say: 'Do you deny any of this? Have those who recorded this wronged you?' He will say: 'No, O Lord!' He will say: Do you have an excuse?' He will say: 'No, O Lord!' So He will say: 'Rather you have a good deed with us, so you shall not be wronged today". Then He will bring out a card (Bitaqah); on it will be: "I testify to La Ilaha Illallah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger". He will say: 'Bring your scales'. He will say: 'O Lord! What good is this card next to these scrolls?' He will say: 'You shall not be wronged'. He said: 'The scrolls will be put on a pan (of the scale), and the card on (the other) pan: the scrolls will be light, and the card will be heavy, nothing is heavier than the Name of Allah'."

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the immense reward awaiting those who testify to the oneness of Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger. On the Day of Judgement, ninety-nine scrolls will be laid out for a person from Prophet Muhammad's Ummah. These scrolls will contain all their deeds throughout their life and they will be asked if they deny any part or if anyone has wronged them in recording these deeds. When they answer no to both questions, Allah will bring out a card which contains their testimony - "I testify to La Ilaha Illallah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger". Then scales will be brought out with one pan containing all ninety-nine scrolls while the other pan containing this card. The scrolls are expected to be light while this card heavy due its great value in front of Allah as it contains an affirmation of faith in Him and His Messenger. This hadith teaches us about how valuable it is for us as Muslims to affirm our faith in Allah by testifying La Ilaha Illallah and affirming our belief in Prophet Muhammad as his messenger so we can receive such immense rewards from Him on the Day of Judgement.
