Reciting the Shahadatayn before death
Question
An Imam told me that when someone is about to pass away from the world, he should say the entire Shahadah, (La ilaha illallah Muhammadur rasulullah),
not just La ilaha illallah.
I am confused because most Hadiths I read says a person’s last words should be: La ilaha illallah.
So please tell me: When a person is about to depart from this world, should his last words should be La ilaha illallah or La ilaha illallah Muhammadur rasulullah?
