Instruction (talqīn) for the one nearing death

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever's last words are the following will enter Paradise:"

"There is no god but Allah."

Shaykh al-Albani said: "The ‹talqīn› here is not for others to recite the shahada aloud in the dying person's presence, as some suppose, but rather to instruct the dying person himself to say these words."

[Abu Dawud 3116; Sahih al-Jami‘ 6479]
