[Machine] I said to the Prophet ﷺ , "I have an elderly sheikh and brothers, so I go to them hoping that they may become Muslims, and then I will bring them to you." He said, "If they become Muslims, it is better for them, and if they establish Islam, it is vast and spacious."  

الطبراني:١٤٥٥٦حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ جَابِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ مُجَمِّعِ بْنِ عَتَّابِ بْنِ شُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ لِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا وَإِخْوَةً فَأَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا فَآتِيَكَ بِهِمْ قَالَ «إنْ هُمْ أَسْلَمُوا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ وَإِنْ هُمْ أَقَامُوا فَالْإِسْلَامُ وَاسِعٌ عَرِيضٌ»
