حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَظْهَرَ إِسْلَامَهُ سَبْعَةٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَمَّارٌ وَأُمُّهُ سُمَيَّةُ وَصُهَيْبٌ وَبِلَالٌ وَالْمِقْدَادُ فَأَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِعَمِّهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمِهِ وَأَمَّا سَائِرُهُمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَأَلْبَسُوهُمْ أَدْرَاعَ الْحَدِيدِ وَصَهَرُوهُمْ فِي الشَّمْسِ فَمَا مِنْهُمْ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ وَاتَاهُمْ عَلَى مَا أَرَادُوا إِلَّا بِلَالٌ فَإِنَّهُ هَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فِي اللَّهِ وَهَانَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَأَعْطَوْهُ الْوِلْدَانَ وَأَخَذُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ شِعَابَ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَحَدٌ أَحَدٌ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3832
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: The first ones to show Islam openly were seven: the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), Abu Bakr, 'Ammar and his mother Surnayyah, Suhaib, Bilal and al- Miqdad. As for the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), Allah protected him by means of his paternal uncle Abu Talib. As for Abu Bakr, Allah protected him by means of his people. As for the rest of them, the mushrikoon took them and clothed them in shirts of iron, and they exposed them to the heat of the sun, and there was not one of them but he did what they wanted him to do, except Bilal, for he did not care what was done lo him for the sake of Allah and his people did not care what happened to him. They handed him over to the children who paraded him around the streets of Makkah as he was saying: One, One.
