721. It was narrated from Sa'd bin Abu Waqqâs that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever says, when he hears the Mu'adh-dhin, 'Wa ana Ash-hadu an lâ ilâha illallâh wahdahu lâ sharika lahu, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu, radaytu Billâhi rabban wa bil-Islâmi dinan wa bi Muhammadin nabiyyan' (And I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allâh alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, and I am content with Allâh as my Lord, Islam as my religion and Muhammad as my Prophet), his sins will be forgiven to him." (Sahih)

Commentary
a. Affirmation of the Oneness of Allâh (monotheism) and the institution of prophethood is the very foundation of Islam and a prerequisite for salvation.
b. To be content with Allâh as one's Lord (Rabb) means to believe in His Lordship as it suits His majesty. The feeling that He alone is the Dispenser of all favours and Provider of all the necessities of life to us, creates a sense of gratitude and love in our hearts.
