It is narrated from Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him), who reports (most probably) from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he fell ill, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit him while his father was sitting by his head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) invited him to Islam, and the boy began to look towards his father (for permission). His father said to him: "Obey Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him)." So he said: "I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah." After that the boy died, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out saying: "All praise is for Allah, who saved him from the Fire through me." In the chain of this hadith, the narrator Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) had a doubt (presumption) about attributing this report to Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).
