• قَالَ بَشِّرْ أُمَّتَكَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ،

  He said: Give your community the good news that whoever dies without associating anything with God will enter Paradise.

  بَشِّرْ — give good news. A command-form verb, 'give good news / announce glad tidings', aimed at a single listener. The 'you' is built into the verb's shape, and this form already carries the 'good news' sense, so the gladness is baked into the command.
