At-Tirmidhi da Ibn Hibban, a cikin Sahihinsa, sun ruwaito cewa Abu Sa'id al-Khudri ya ce: Abu Bakr ya ce, "Ashe ba ni ne mafi cancanta a cikin mutane da wannan (khilafar) ba? Ashe ba ni ne na farko da na karɓi Musulunci ba? Ashe ba ni ne wane kaza ba? Ashe ba ni ne wane kaza ba?" Ibn 'Asakir ya ruwaito ta hanyar al-Harith, wanda ya ce 'Ali, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Na farko cikin maza da ya karɓi Musulunci shi ne Abu Bakr.

At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban, in his Sahih, narrated that Abu Sacid al-Khudri said: Abu Bakr said, ‘Am I not the most suitable of people for it (the khilafahy. Am I not the first to accept Islam? Am I not the one of such-and-such? Am I not the one of such-and-such?’ Ibn cAsakir narrated by way of al-Harith who related that cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The first among men to accept Islam was Abu Bakr.

Ibn Abi Khaythamah ya ruwaito da isnadi sahihi cewa Zaid ibn Arqam ya ce: Mutumin farko da ya yi sallah tare da Annabi ﷺ shi ne Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.

Ibn Abi Khaythamah narrated with a sahih isnad that Zaid ibn Arqam said: The first to perform the prayer with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.

Ibn Sa'd ya ruwaito cewa Abu Arwa ad-Dawsi, sahabi, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Na farko da ya karɓi Musulunci shi ne Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.

Ibn Sacd narrated that Abu Arwa ad-Dawsi the Companion, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The first to accept Islam was Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.

At-Tabarani ya riwaito a cikin al-Kabir, kuma cAbdullah ibn Ahmad [Ibn Abu Bakr as-Siddiq I lanbal] ya riwaito a cikin az-Zawa'id az-Zuhd cewa ash-Sha'bi ya ce: Na tambayi Ibn cAbbas, 'Wane ne mutum na farko da ya karɓi Musulunci?' Ya ce, 'Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Ba ka ji kalmomin Hassan ba?'

At-Tabarani narrated in the Kabir and cAbdullah ibn Ahmad [Ibn Abu Bakr as-Siddiq I lanbal] narrated in the Zawa’id az-Zuhd that ash-Shacbi said: I asked Ibn cAbbas, ‘Who was the first person to accept Islam?’ He said, ‘Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Did you not hear the words of Hassan?:

"Idan ka tuna damuwar wani ɗan'uwa amintacce, to ka tuna ɗan'uwanka Abu Bakr saboda abin da ya aikata."

“When you recall the distress of a trusted brother, then remember your brother Abu Bakr for what he did.

Shi ne mafi kyawun halitta, mafi tsoron Allah cikin biyayya a gare shi, kuma mafi adalci a cikinsu, sai dai Annabi, kuma mafi tabbaci wajen cika abin da ya dauka a kansa. ﷺ Na biyu shi ne mai bin sahun farko, wanda majalisarsa ake yabo, kuma shi ne na farko daga cikin mazajen da suka gaskata Manzon Allah ﷺ.” Abu Nu‘aym ya ruwaito cewa Furat ibn as-Sa’ib ya ce: Na tambayi Maimun ibn Mihran, “Shin ‘Ali ya fi a ra’ayinka, ko Abu Bakr da ‘Umar?” Sai ya girgiza har sandarsa ta fadi daga hannunsa, ya ce, “Ban taba zaton zan rayu har zamanin da za a kwatanta wani da su ba. Ayyukansu nagari na Allah ne! Su ne shugabannin Musulunci.” Na ce, “‘Ali ne ya fara karbar Musulunci, ko Abu Bakr?” Ya ce, “Na rantse da Allah, Abu Bakr ya gaskata Annabi ﷺ a lokacin Buhaira, malamin addini, a lokacin da ya wuce ta wajensa.” An sami sabani game da shi da Khadija (wanne daga cikinsu ya fara karbar Musulunci), har (aka ce) ya aurar da ita gare shi ﷺ, kuma duk wannan ya faru kafin haihuwar ‘Ali.

I he best of creation, most fearfully obedient of them, and the most just, except for the Prophet, and the most certain to fulfil what he has undertaken, ' I he second, the follower whose assembly is praised, and the first of the men of they who affirmed the Messenger.’” Abu Nucaym narrated that Furat ibn as-Sa’ib said: I asked Maymun ibn Mihran, ‘Is cAli better in your view or Abu Bakr and ‘Umar?’ He shook until his staff fell from his hand and replied, ‘I never thought that I would live to a time when anyone would be compared with them. Their good deeds belong to Allah! They were the head of Islam.’ I said, ‘cAli was the first to accept Islam or Abu Bakr?’ He said, ‘By Allah, Abu Bakr believed in the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, at the time of Buhayra the monk when he passed by him.’ There is a disagreement as to him and Khadijah (which of them was first to accept Islam) until (it is said that) he married her to him, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and all of that before the birth of cAli.

Wani rukuni mai yawa daga cikin Sahabbai da Tabi'ai sun ce shi ne farko da ya karɓi Musulunci, kuma wasu daga cikinsu sun yi iƙirarin cewa akwai ijma'i a kan haka. An ce, "Farko wanda ya karɓi Musulunci shi ne ʿAli." An kuma ce, "Khadijah." Hanyar sasanta waɗannan maganganu da ke da alama suna karo da juna ita ce: Abu Bakr ne mutum na farko da ya karɓi Musulunci, ʿAli ne farko daga cikin yara da ya karɓi Musulunci, kuma Khadijah ce mace ta farko da ta karɓi Musulunci.

A whole group of the Companions and the Followers said that he was the first to accept Islam, and some of them claimed that there was a consensus on that. It has been said, ‘The first to accept Islam was cAli.’ It has also been said, ‘Khadijah.’ The reconciliation between these apparently conflicting statements is that Abu Bakr was the first man to accept Islam, cAli was the first of the children to accept Islam, and Khadijah was the first woman to accept Islam.

Ni ne na fara sasanta wannan ta wannan hanya shi ne Imam Abu Hanifah, Allah ya yi masa rahama.

I he first to reconcile it in this way was the Imam Abu Hanifah, may Allah be merciful to him.

Ibn Abi Shaybah da Ibn cAsakir sun ruwaito cewa Salim ibn Abi’l-Ja'd ya ce: Na ce wa Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, 'Shin Abu Bakr ne farkon mutumin da ya karɓi Musulunci?' Ya ce, 'A'a.' Na ce, 'To ta yaya Abu Bakr ya yi fice ya kuma riga sauran mutane har haka, har ba a ambaton kowa sai Abu Bakr?' Ya ce, 'Saboda shi ne mafi kyau daga cikinsu a Musulunci tun daga lokacin da ya karɓi Musulunci har zuwa lokacin da ya haɗu da Ubangijinsa.' Ibn cAsakir ya ruwaito da isnadi mai kyau cewa Muhammad ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas ya ce wa mahaifinsa Sa'd, 'Shin Abu Bakr ne farkon ku da ya karɓi Musulunci?' Ya ce, 'A'a. Fiye da mutum biyar sun karɓi Musulunci kafin shi, amma shi ne mafi kyau a cikinmu a Musulunci.' Ibn Kathir ya ce: A bayyane yake cewa mutanen gidansa, ﷺ, su ne suka fara yin imani kafin kowa; matarsa Khadijah, bawansa da ya 'yanta Zaid, matar Zaid Umm Ayman, cAli da Waraqah.

Ibn Abi Shaybah and Ibn cAsakir narrated that Salim ibn Abi’l- Jacd said: I said to Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, ‘Was Abu Bakr the first person to accept Islam?’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘So how did Abu Bakr excel and precede others so much so that no-one else is mentioned but Abu Bakr?’ He said, ‘Because he was the best of them in Islam from the moment he accepted Islam until the moment he met his Lord.’ Ibn cAsakir narrated with an excellent isnad that Muhammad ibn Sacd ibn Abi Waqqas said to his father Sacd, ‘Was Abu Bakr the first of you to accept Islam?’ He said, ‘No. More than five people accepted Islam before him, but he was the best of us in Islam.’ Ibn Kathir said: It is clear that the people of his house, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, believed before anyone; his wife Khadijah, his freed slave Zaid, Zaid’s wife Umm Ayman, cAli and Waraqah.

Ibn cAsakir ya ruwaito daga Tsa ibn Yazid cewa: Abu Bakr as-Siddiq ya ce, "Ina zaune a farfajiyar Ka'aba sai Zaid ibn cAmr ibn Nufayl ya zauna, sannan Umayyah ibn Abi's-Salt ya wuce ta gare shi ya ce, 'Yaya kake, mai neman alheri?' Ya ce, 'Lafiya.' Ya ce, 'Shin ka samu?' Ya ce, 'A'a,' sai ya ce, 'Kowane addini a Ranar Tashi, sai dai wanda Allah ya tsara, zai lalace.'"

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Tsa ibn Yazid said: Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, ‘I was sitting in the courtyard of the Kacbah and Zaid ibn cAmr ibn Nufayl was seated, then Umayyah ibn Abi’s-Salt passed by him and said, “How are you, seeker after good?” He said, “Well.” He said, “And have you found?” He said, “No,” so he said, “Every deen on the Day of Rising, except that which Allah has decreed, will perish.

"Amma wannan Annabi da ake jira, shin zai fito ne daga cikinmu, ko daga cikinku?" Ban taba jin a baya game da wani annabi da ake jira kuma za a aika ba. Sai na tafi wajen Waraqah ibn Nawfal, wanda yakan dinga duban sama sosai, kuma zuciyarsa ta yi matukar mamaki. Na tsaya gare shi na ba shi labarin. Ya ce, "Eh, dan uwana. Mu mutanen littattafai ne da ilimomi, amma wannan Annabi da ake jira daga tsakiyar (mafi daraja) Larabawa yake dangane da asali - kuma ina da ilimin nasaba - kuma mutanenka suna tsakiyar (mafi daraja)."

“But as for this Prophet who is awaited, will he be from us or from you?” And I had not heard before that of a prophet who was awaited and who would be sent. So I went to Waraqah ibn Nawfal who used to look much towards heaven, and was much astonished of heart. I stopped him and told him the story. He said, “Yes, my nephew. We are the people of books and sciences, but this Prophet who is awaited is from the midst (noblest) of the Arabs genealogically - and I have a knowledge of genealogy - and your people are midmost (noblest)

…na larabawa dangane da asalinsu.” Sai na ce, “Malam, to me Annabi zai ce?” Ya ce, “Zai ce abin da aka ce masa, sai dai ba zai zalunta ba, ba kuma za a zalunce shi ba, kuma ba zai nemi a zalunci kowa ba.” Har lokacin da Manzon Allah ﷺ aka aiko shi, sai na yi imani da shi, na kuma tabbatar da shi. Ibn Ishaq ya ce: Muhammad ɗan ʿAbdurrahman ɗan ʿAbdullahi ɗan al-Husaini at-Tamimi ya ba ni labari cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: “Ban taba kiran wani zuwa Musulunci ba face ya nuna ƙyama a kansa, sai dai da jinkiri da tunani, sai dai Abu Bakr. Bai yi jinkiri ba lokacin da na tunatar da shi, kuma bai yi shakka ba.” Al-Bayhaqi ya ce:

of the Arabs in terms of lineage.” I said, “Uncle, and what will the Prophet say?” He said, “He will say what is said to him, except that he will not oppress nor be oppressed nor seek the oppression (of anyone).” So that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sent I believed in him and affirmed him.’ Ibn Ishaq said: Muhammad ibn cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAbdullah Ibn al-Husayn at-Tamimi narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I have never Invited anyone to Islam except that he had an aversion to it, and Irresolution and deliberation, except for Abu Bakr. He did not delay when I reminded him and he was not irresolute.’ Al-Bayhaqi said:

Wannan saboda yana ganin hujjojin annabcin Manzon Allah, Allah ya yi masa salati ya kuma ba shi aminci, yana kuma jin alamomin hakan tun kafin kiransa (zuwa Musulunci). Don haka, idan ya yi masa kira, sai ya kasance ya riga ya yi tunani a kan lamarin, sai ya mika wuya ya karɓi Musulunci nan take.

I h is was because he used to see the proofs of the prophethood of I lie Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and hear the traces of it before his invitation (to Islam), so that when he invited him he had already reflected and thought about it, and he submitted and accepted Islam at once.

Sa'an nan ya [al-Bayhaqi] ya ruwaito cewa Abu Maysurah ya ce: Manzon Allah ﷺ yana jin wani yana kiran sunansa idan ya fita, yana cewa, "Muhammad!" Idan ya ji muryar sai ya juya yana gudu, sai ya ba Abu Bakr labarin a asirce, wanda shi ne abokinsa tun a zamanin Jahiliyya.

I hen he [al-Bayhaqi] narrated that Abu Maysurah said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to hear someone calling him when he went out, ‘Muhammad!’ When he heard the voice he would turn back in flight and he told It in confidence to Abu Bakr who was his friend in Jahiliyyah.

Abu Nucaym da Ibn cAsakir sun ruwaito daga Ibn cAbbas cewa ya ce: Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Ban taba yin magana da kowa game da Musulunci ba face sun ki karbata, sun kuma kore maganata, sai dai dan Abu Quhafah. Ban taba yi masa magana kan wani abu ba face ya karba, kuma ya tsaya a kansa."

Abu Nucaym and Ibn cAsakri narrated that Ibn cAbbas said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I never spoke to anyone about Islam but that they refused me and rejected my words except for the son of Abu Quhafah. I never spoke to him about something but that he accepted it and was steadfast in it.

Al-Bukhari ya ruwaito cewa Abu'd-Darda' ya ce: Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce, "Shin za ku bar mini abokina?" (Shin za ku bar mini abokina?) Na ce, "Mutane, ni Manzon Allah ne zuwa gare ku duka," amma kuku kuka ce, "Kana karya." Abu Bakr ya ce, "Ka faɗi gaskiya."

Al-Bukhari narrated that Abu’d-Darda’ said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Will you leave me my companion? (Will you leave me my companion?) I said, “People, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all,” and you said, “You are lying.” Abu Bakr said, “You have told the truth.’”
