Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9584

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا خَالُ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ " . فَقَالَ : خَالٌ أَنَا أَوْ عَمٌّ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَا بَلْ خَالٌ " . فَقَالَ : " قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ " . قَالَ : هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to a man from Banu al-Najjar to visit him in his illness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O maternal uncle, say La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah)." He asked: "Am I a maternal uncle or a paternal uncle?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather a maternal uncle." He said: "Say La ilaha illallah." He said: "Will it be better for me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Yes!"
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
