حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَلْجٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلِيٌّ . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَلْجٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ . وَأَبُو بَلْجٍ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ . وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي هَذَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلِيٌّ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَسْلَمَ عَلِيٌّ وَهُوَ غُلاَمٌ ابْنُ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ خَدِيجَةُ .
Muhammad ibn Humayd narrated to us: Ibrahim ibn al-Mukhtar narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, from Abu Balj, from ‘Amr ibn Maymun, from Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: ‘The first to perform prayer was ‘Ali.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is gharib through this route. We know it from Shu‘bah, from Abu Balj, only through the narration of Muhammad ibn Humayd. Abu Balj’s name is Yahya ibn Abi Sulaym. Scholars differed on this: some said that the first to accept Islam was Abu Bakr al-Siddiq; others said it was ‘Ali. Some scholars said that Abu Bakr was the first of the men to accept Islam, while ‘Ali accepted Islam when he was a boy of eight; and Khadijah was the first of the women to accept Islam.
