عن إسماعيل بن إياس بن عفيف الكندي عن ابيه عن جده رضي الله عنه قال كنت امرا تاجرا فقدمت الحج فاتيت العباس بن عبد المطلب لابتاع منه بعض التجارة وكان امرا تاجرا فوالله إني لعنده بمنى إذ خرج رجل من خباء قريب منه فنظر إلى الشمس فلما رآها مالت يعني قام يصلي قال ثم خرجت امراة من ذلك الخباء الذي خرج منه ذلك الرجل فقامت خلفه تصلي ثم خرج غلام حين راهق الحلم من ذلك الخباء فقام معه يصلي قال فقلت للعباس من هذا يا عباس قال هذا محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب ابن اخي قال فقلت من هذه المراة قال هذه امراته خديجة ابنة خويلد قال قلت من هذا الفتى قال هذا علي بن ابي طالب ابن عمه قال فقلت فما هذا الذي يصنع قال يصلي وهو يزعم انه نبي ولم يتبعه على امره إلا امراته وابن عمه هذا الفتى وهو يزعم انه يفتح عليه كنوز كسرى وقيصر قال فكان عفيف وهو ابن عم الاشعث بن قيس يقول واسلم بعد ذلك فحسن إسلامه لو كان الله رزقني الإسلام يومئذ فاكون ثالثا مع ابن ابي طالب
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Afif Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: I was a merchant, I came for Hajj and met Sayyiduna ‘Abbas bin ‘Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) to buy some trade goods; he was also a merchant. By Allah, I was with him at Mina when a man came out from a nearby tent and looked at the sun. When he thought the sun had declined, he stood up and began to pray. Then a woman came out from the same tent and stood behind that man and began to pray. Then a boy, close to puberty, came out from the same tent and stood with the man to perform the prayer. I said to ‘Abbas: O ‘Abbas! Who is this man? He said: This is Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I said: Who is this woman? He said: This is his wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. I said: Who is this boy? He said: This is his cousin ‘Ali bin Abi Talib. I said: What is he doing? He said: He is praying and claims that he is a Prophet, but so far, the only ones following him in this matter are his wife and this cousin of his. He believes that he will conquer the treasures of Kisra and Caesar. This ‘Afif was a cousin of Ash’ath bin Qays; later he became Muslim and his Islam became beautiful, and afterwards he used to say: If only Allah had granted me Islam at that time, and I would have been the third person to become Muslim along with Ibn Abi Talib.

عن عبد الله رضي الله عنه قال اول من اظهر إسلامه سبعة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وابو بكر رضي الله عنه وعمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنه وامه سمية رضي الله عنها وصهيب رضي الله عنه وبلال رضي الله عنه والمقداد رضي الله عنه فاما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فمنعه الله بعمه ابي طالب واما ابو بكر فمنعه الله بقومه واما سائرهم فاخذهم المشركون فالبسوهم ادراع الحديد وصهروهم في الشمس فما منهم إنسان إلا وقد واتاهم على ما ارادوا إلا بلال فإنه هانت عليه نفسه في الله وهان على قومه فاعطوه الولدان واخذوا يطوفون به شعاب مكة وهو يقول احد احد
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him, he says: The first seven individuals to openly declare Islam were: the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir, his mother Sayyidah Sumayyah, Sayyiduna Suhaib, Sayyiduna Bilal, and Sayyiduna Miqdad. Allah Almighty granted protection to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, through his uncle Abu Talib, and to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, through his people. The rest of them were seized by the polytheists, who made them wear iron armor and tortured them by standing them in the sun. Every person would comply with their wishes, except for Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him. He considered himself insignificant for the sake of Allah Almighty. Meanwhile, his people also considered him of little importance, so they handed him over to the children, or they would take Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, and make him wander through the valleys of Makkah, but Sayyiduna Bilal would keep saying: Allah is One, Allah is One.

عن عبد الرحمن بن البيلماني عن عمرو بن عبسة السلمي رضي الله عنه قال قلت يا رسول الله من معك على هذا الامر قال ((حر وعبد)) ومعه ابو بكر رضي الله عنه وبلال رضي الله عنه ثم قال له ((ارجع إلى قومك حتى يمكن الله عز وجل لرسوله)) قال وكان عمرو بن عبسة يقول لقد رايتني وإني لربع الإسلام
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Who is with you on this religion?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A free man and a slave." At that time, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with them both) were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Amr bin Abasah: "Return to your people until Allah makes His Messenger strong." Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "I considered myself a quarter of Islam."
