Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَادَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا خَالُ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ قَالَ خَالٌ أَمْ عَمٌّ قَالَ بَلْ خَالٌ قَالَ وَخَيْرٌ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ.
English Translation
'Affan told us, Hammad told us, who said: Thabit told us, from Anas, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, visited a man from the Ansar and said: "O maternal uncle, say: there is no god but God." He said: "Maternal uncle or paternal uncle?" He said: "Rather, maternal uncle." He said: "And is it better for me to say it?" He said: "Yes."
