Re: I will say only La ilaha Il lalaah.

bhaijaan.. this hadith sounds like it's so definite.. I can cite many other hadiths which give you several other variations of 'five pillars'.. some have 'war booty' in them, some don't include fasting, some have prohibitions for some household utensils... needless to say.. it's all just storetelling and fabrications.. no consistencies.. no reliability WHATSOEVER.

and if u insist on proving 'shahadah' by hadiths... then chew on this:

  • Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 223: * Narrated Al-Musaiyab: When Abu Talib was in his death bed, the Prophet went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside him. The Prophet said, "O my uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an expression I will defend your case with, before Allah." ........

Tell me (if we're to believe in these stories) if the correct shahadah also needs to testify for the Prophet's prophethood too, why didn't the Prophet himself instruct his uncle to do so?
