Musnad Ahmad 12543

✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered upon a man from Banu al-Najjar to visit him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'O uncle, say: There is no god but Allah.' He said: 'Am I an uncle or a paternal uncle?' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'No, rather an uncle.' He said to him: 'Say: There is no god but Allah.' He said: 'Is it better for me?' He said: 'Yes.'
