Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

Ibn Jareer also reported from Ibn `Abbaas رضي ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنهما that he said: “The first one to
perform the Salaah (with the Prophet ‏(ﷺ was `Alee.” 171
Jaabir رضي ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنه said: “The Prophet ﷺ was commissioned with Prophethood on
Monday, and `Alee performed the Salaah (with him) on Tuesday.” 172
ﷺ Zaid Ibn al-Arqam said: “The first to accept Islaam with the Messenger of Allaah
was `Alee Ibn Abu Ṭaalib.” `Amr Ibn Murrah said: “I mentioned that to Ibraaheem al-
Nakha`ee, so he rejected that and said: “The first to accept Islaam was Abu Bakr al-
Siddeeq.” 173
171 (Shaikh al-Albaanee said): Reported by Ibn Jareer in “al-Taareekh” (2/310), and its chain is “Ḍha`eef” (Weak),
but it has a supporting chain from the narrations of `Alee himself: “I am the first one to pray with the Messenger
of Allaah ‏”.ﷺ Reported by Imaam Aḥmad (1191, 1192) with a “Ḥasan” chain. Al-Haithamee said (“al-Majma`”
9/103): “Its narrators are of the level of “al-Ṣaḥeeḥ” except for Habbatul-`Uraniyy; some have considered him as
reliable.”
And from the narration of Zaid Ibn Arqam who said: “The first one to pray with the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ was
رضيُاهللُ‏ `Amr Ibn Murrah said: I mentioned that to Ibraaheem, but he rejected it, saying: “Abu Bakr ‏”.رضيُاهللُعنه `Alee
This was reported by Ibn Jareer, Aḥmad (19284, 19303), and ‏”.(ﷺ (was the first one to pray with the Prophet عنه
its chain is “Ṣaḥeeḥ”. Ibn Jareer also reported the same and which will be mentioned next.
[TN: It is also reported from a different chain from Ibn `Abbaas ‏:رضيُاهللُعنهما “The first one to perform the Salaah
(with the Prophet ‏(ﷺ was `Alee.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3734) and graded as “Ṣaḥeeḥ” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
Imaam al-Tirmidhee said after the Ḥadeeth: “Some of the people of knowledge said that the first to accept Islaam
among men was Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, and that `Alee accepted Islaam while he was a boy of eight years, and the
first to accept Islaam among women was Khadeejah.”]
172 (Shaikh al-Albaanee said): This was also reported by Ibn Jareer but with a “Ḍha`eef” chain. But this is
strengthened due to supporting chain, from the narration of Buraidah ‏.رضيُاهللُعنه Al-Ḥaakim reported it in his “al-
Mustadrak” (4586) and said: “Its chain is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” and al-Dhahabee agreed with him. Then he (al-Ḥaakim)
reported a supporting chain, from the narration of Muslim al-Mulaa’ee from Anas, similar to it. See “al-Mustadrak
(4587). Muslim al-Mulaa’ee, and he is Ibn Kaisaan, is “Ḍha`eef”. And from this route, Abu Ya`laa reported it, but
he narrated it from `Alee ‏ُعنه , as has been mentioned in “Majma` al-Zawaaid” (9/102/14602).

173 I (al-Albaanee) say: Ibn Jareer reported that it in his “al-Taareekh” (2/310), and al-Tirmidhee in his Sunan
(3735) and he graded it as “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, and Aḥmad in his “Musnad” (19281, 19306), and Ibn Sa`d in “al-Ṭabaqaat al-
Kubraa”, al-Ṭabaraanee in “al-Awaa’il” (55), and its chain is “Ṣaḥeeḥ”. It is reported with a different wording
which will be mentioned shortly. It is also supported by the narration of Ibn `Abbaas ‏,رضيُاهللُعنهما who said: “The
first one to accept Islaam is `Alee ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنه ‏”.رضي Al-Ṭabaraanee reported it in “al-Awaa’il” (52). [TN: Al-Ṭabaraanee
also reported in “al-Kabeer” (12151)] and in this chain is `Uthmaan al-Jazaree. Al-Haithamee said in “al-Majma`”
(9/102): “This was reported by al-Ṭabaraanee, and in its chain is `Uthmaan al-Jazaree, and I do not know about
him.”
