حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، 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 الْكِتَابِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَىِ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ " هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ " .

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mawhab, who said: I heard Tamīm al-Dārī say: I asked, “Messenger of God, what is the practice concerning a man from the People of the Book who becomes Muslim through another man?” He said: “That man has the strongest claim to him in his life and after his death.”
