3734. Ibn 'Abbās said: "The first to perform Ṣalāt was 'Ali." (Ḥasan) [He said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route, we do not know of it as a narration of Shu'bah from Abū Balj (narrators in the chain) except through the report of Muḥammad bin Ḥumaid. And Abū Balj's name is Yaḥyā bin Abī Sulaim. Some of the people of knowledge said that the first to accept Islām among men was Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq, and that 'Ali accepted Islam while he was a boy of eight years, and the first to accept Islam among women was Khadījah.

٣٧٣٤ - 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». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَلْجٍ إِلَّا 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 غُلَامٌ ابْنُ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ، وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ خَدِيجَةُ.
