3735. A man from the Anṣār narrated that Zaid bin Al-Arqam said: "The first to accept Islam was 'Ali." 'Amr bin Murrah said: "So I mentioned that to Ibrāhīm An-Nakha'i, so he rejected that and said: The first to accept Islam was Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq."(Ṣaḥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh. Abū Ḥamzah's (a narrator in the chain) name is Ṭalḥah bin Yazīd.
٣٧٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ يَقُولُ: «أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلِيٌّ،» قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ فَأَنْكَرَهُ، وَقَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو حَمْزَةَ اسْمُهُ: طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ.

Abū Ṭālib was a poor person and had many children to raise, therefore, the Prophet ﷺ suggested to his uncle 'Abbās that they should help Abū Ṭālib and share his burden. 'Abbās agreed to it and took Ja'far in his care and the Prophet ﷺ took 'Ali. In this way 'Ali was raised in the hands of the Prophet ﷺ. It was natural for 'Ali to accept Islam, as he was still a young boy when he embraced Islam.
