ُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَخَالٌ أَمْ عَمٌّ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ خَالٌ قَالَ فَخَيْرٌ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ

English Translation
Hasan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited a man from the Ansar and said: 'O maternal uncle, say La ilaha illallah (There is no deity but Allah).' He said: 'Is he my maternal uncle or my paternal uncle?' He said: 'Rather your maternal uncle.' He said: 'Then it is better for me to say La ilaha illallah?' He said: 'Yes.'
