2639. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Āsh narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed Allāh will distinguish a man from my Ummah before all of creation on the Day of Judgement. Ninety-nine scrolls will be laid out for him, each scroll is as far as the eye can see, then He will say: 'Do you deny any of this? Have those who recorded this wronged you?' He will say: 'No, O Lord!' He will say: 'Do you have an excuse?' He will say: 'No, O Lord!' So He will say: 'Rather you have a good deed with us, so you shall not be wronged today.' Then He will bring out a card (Biṭāqah); on it will be: "I testify to Lā Ilāha Illallāh, and I testify that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger." He will say: 'Bring your scales.' He will say: 'O Lord! What good is this card next to these scrolls?' He will say: 'You shall not be wronged.' He said: 'The scrolls will be put on a pan (of
the scale), and the card on (the other) pan; the scrolls will be light, and the card will be heavy, nothing is heavier than the Name of Allāh.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ḡharīb.
(Another chain) with similar in meaning. The Bitāqah is a small piece (of paper).

Commentary
If a person embraces Islam out of sincerity of the heart, all his sins are forgiven because of it; the phrase of declaration of Faith is the phrase that is declared on the tongue along with the sincerity of the heart at the very first time to come out of disbelief and polytheism to enter the fold of Islam. On the Day of Judgement, the person will be shown, at the time of weighing the deeds, the result of the ‘Phrase of Oneness’ that the previous sins of his entire life will become weightless and ineffective.
