Tamim asked: Messenger of Allah), what is the sunnah about a man who accepts Islam by advice and persuasion of a Muslim? He replied: He is the nearest to him in life and in death.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ إِنَّ تَمِيمًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَىِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ  

'I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: What is the Sunnah regarding a man among the people of the Shirk who accepts Islam at the hand of a man among the Muslims?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He is the closet of the people to him in his life and in his death.'"  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَىْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ  

“I heard Tamim Ad- Dari say: ‘I said: O Messenger of Allah, what is the Sunnah concerning a man from among the People of the Book who becomes a Muslim at the hands of another man?’ He said: ‘He is the closest of all people to him in life and in death.’”  

سَمِعْتُ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَىِ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟قَالَ هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُفْرِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ قَالَ «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is it permissible for a polytheist to seek safety in the hands of a Muslim?" He replied, "He is more deserving of safety in his life and death."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ قَالَ «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ»  

Tamim asked: Messenger of Allah), what is the sunnah about a man who accepts Islam by advice and persuasion of a Muslim? He replied: He is the nearest to him in life and in death. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2918)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ إِنَّ تَمِيمًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ قَالَ هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَعَادَ الْحَدِيثُ مَعَ ذِكْرِ قَبِيصَةَ فِيهِ إِلَى الْإِرْسَالِ  

"عَنْ تَمِيم الدَّارِىِّ قَالَ: سَألْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى الرَّجْلِ فَيَمُوتُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : هُوَ أُوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ".
