'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
