Hadith on Tawhid: Nothing greater than to testify Allah is One

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Moses said: My Lord, teach me something with which I can remember You and call upon You. Allah said: Say ‘there is no God but Allah.’ Moses said: My Lord, all of Your servants say this. Allah said: O Moses, if the seven heavens with their inhabitants, as well as the seven earths, were upon a scale against the statement ‘there is no God but Allah,’ then ‘there is no God but Allah’ would outweigh them.

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ‏ قَالَ مُوسَى‏ يَا رَبِّ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَذْكُرُكَ بِهِ وَأَدْعُوكَ بِهِ‏ قَالَ‏ قُلْ يَا مُوسَى‏ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏ قَالَ‏ يَا رَبِّ كُلُّ عِبَادِكَ يَقُولُ هَذَا‏‏ قَالَ‏ قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏ قَالَ‏ إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا تَخُصُّنِي بِهِ‏ قَالَ‏ يَا مُوسَى لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَالأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فِي كِفَّةٍ مَالَتْ بِهِمْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏
