حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَاكِرٍ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ ثنا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَظْهَرَ إِسْلَامَهُ سَبْعَةٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِعَمِّهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِقَوْمِهِ وَأَمَّا سَائِرُهُمْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَأَلْبَسُوهُمْ أَدْرَاعَ الْحَدِيدِ وَأَوْقَفُوهُمْ فِي الشَّمْسِ فَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا قَدْ آتَاهُمْ كُلَّمَا أَرَادُوا غَيْرَ بِلَالٍ فَإِنَّهُ هَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فِي اللَّهِ ﷻ وَهَانَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ الْوِلْدَانَ فَجَعَلُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ فِي شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ أَحَدٌ أَحَدٌ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» صحيح

✧ The first seven to openly proclaim Islam were: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whom Allah protected through his uncle Abu Talib; Abu Bakr, whom Allah Almighty protected through his people; and the rest, whom the polytheists seized, clad in iron armor, and made to stand in the sun. Every one of them gave in to what they wanted, except Bilal, for his soul became insignificant to him in the cause of Allah ﷻ, and he became insignificant to his people. They handed him over to the children, who paraded him through the mountain paths of Makkah while he kept saying, 'One, One.' [Authentic chain, though they did not record it.] Sahih.
