It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the court of the Messenger: O Messenger of Allah! Who else is with you on this religion? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both the free and the slave." At that time, Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to your people until Allah grants victory to His Messenger." Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that I have seen the time when I was a quarter of Islam (the fourth person among those who accepted Islam).
