حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْکِتَابِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَی يَدَيْ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ هُوَ أَوْلَی النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2752
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mawhab said: "I heard Tamim Ad-Dan say: said: o Messenger of Allah, what is the Sunnali concerning a man from among the People of the Book who becomes Muslim at the hands of another man?' He said: 'He is the closest of all people to him in life and in death.''' (Hasan)
