Is the following narration authentic?
The person who talks during the adhan will not be able to say the shahadah on his deathbed.
Answer:
Responding to the adhan holds great merit and reward in Shariah. It is not proper for one to be engaging in futile talks while the adhan is being called.
I have not found a Hadith with the exact words as in your question, however the following is a very similar narration.
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have said:
“One who speaks during the adhan, it is feared that he will lose his Iman”
‘Allamah Saghani (rahimahullah) has classified the above Hadith as a fabrication.
(See Mawdu’atus Saghani, Hadith: 145 and Kashful Khafa, Hadith: 2437)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
