عن أبي أيوب رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، عَشْرَ مِرَارٍ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَنْفُسٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ».
Imepokelewa Kutoka kwa Abuu Ayub -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Atakayesema: Laa ilaaha illa llaahu wahdahu Laa shariika lahu, Lahul-Mulku walahul hamdu Wahuwa a'laa kulli shai-in qadiir, mara kumi (10) atakuwa ni kama aliyewaacha huru watu wanne katika wana wa Ismail".
Abu Ayyūb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says ten times ‘Lā ilāha illa Allah wahdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu al-mulku wa lahu al-hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr (There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner; to Him belongs the dominion, and praise is due to Him, and He has power over all things)' will be the same (in reward) as the one who emancipated four slaves from the children of Ishmael."
