Hadith on Tawhid: The Prophet knows the word of salvation

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, I know a word that no servant truthfully says in his heart and dies upon it but that Allah will forbid him from entering Hellfire: There is no God but Allah.”
