حَدَّثَنَا سُلَیْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَیْدِ عَنْ ثَابِتِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ، أَنَّ عُلَا مًا مِنَ الْیَھُوْدُ کَانَ یَخْدُمُ النَّبِیَّ ﷺ فَمَرِضَ فَأَتَاہُ النَّبِیُّ ﷺ یَعُوْدُہُ فَقَعَدَ عِنْدَ رَأُسِہِ فَقَالَ لَہُ:((أَسلِمْ)) فَنَطَرَ إِلَی ۔وَھُوَ عِنْدَ رَأُسِہِ۔فَقَالَ لَہُ: أَطِعْ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمَ ،فَخَرَجَ النَّبِیُّ ﷺ وَھُوَ یَقُوْلُ: ((الْحَمْدُ لِلہِ الَّذِیْ أَنْقَذَہُ مِنَ النَّارِ))
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 524
Anas reported that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The boy became ill and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to visit him. He sat by his head and said, "Become a Muslim." The boy looked at his father who was also sitting by his head. His father said to him, "Obey Abu'l-Qasim (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)." So the boy became a Muslim. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, left saying, "Praise be to Allah who has saved him from the Fire!"
