'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.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2112)   

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَبِمَمَاتِهِ»  

[Machine] Tameem Ad-Dari said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , 'What is the ruling regarding a disbeliever who gives Salaam to a Muslim?' He replied, 'He has more right over his life and his death.' Abu Abdur-Rahman said, 'And this statement is more correct than the one before it.'"  

قَالَ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُفْرِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ كَيْفَ الْقَضَاءُ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَبِمَمَاتِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهَذَا أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ مِنَ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ  

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a polytheist man who converts to Islam under the protection of a Muslim man. He said, "He is the closest of people to him in terms of his life and death."  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِهِ حَيَاتِهِ وَمَوْتِهِ»
