2752. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Mawhab said: "I heard Tamim Ad-Dāri say: 'I said: O Messenger of Allāh, what is the Sunnah concerning a man from among the People of the Book who becomes Muslim at the hands of another man?' He said: 'He is the closest of all people to him in life and in death.''" (Hasan)
2752 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: 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 يَدَيِ الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَ: «هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَحْيَاهُ وَمَمَاتِهِ»

If a non-Muslim embraces Islam by someone's hand, a relationship of the right of inheritance is established between the two. Relatives of this new Muslim being non-Muslim are not his heirs, and the person at whose hand he accepted Islam is his heir. If the one who embraced Islam has other Muslim relatives, they will become his heirs, and if they are Ashābul-Furoodh then the person who converted him to Islam will become his Asabah. (Allāh knows better) In the Name of Allâh, the MostBeneficent, the Most Merciful
