2918. It was reported from Qabiṣāh bin Dhuʿaib — Hishām (one of the narrators) said: "From Tamīm Ad-Dārī, that he said: 'O Messenger of Allāh!'" — And Yazīd (one of the narrators) said: "That Tamīm said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What is the Sunnah in regards of a man who accepts Islam at the hands of a man among the Muslims?' He replied: 'He is the most worthy of the people in his life and after his death.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

2918 - حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَمْزَةَ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَوْهَبٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ: عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: إِنَّ تَمِيمًا، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا السُّنَّةُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ عَلَى يَدَيِ الرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، قَالَ: «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ»

Commentary

Abū Ḥanīfah and Ishāq hold the view that the one who accepts Islam may agree to Walāʾ with the one by whom he accepted it. Others explain that the narration does not clearly state that they inherit from each other, and they cite the Hadīth: "The Walāʾ is for the one who freed." Meaning, in the case where a slave accepted Islam at the hands of this man, and another man paid to have him freed, then which of the two has the Walāʾ, so this narration explains that the Walāʾ is for the one who freed.
