Mention of those who embraced Islam through Abu Bakr's call ᴿᴬ

[ إسْلَامُ صُهَيْبٍ وَنَسَبُهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَصُهَيْبُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، أَحَدُ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ، حَلِيفُ بَنِي تَيْمِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: النَّمِرُ بْنُ قَاسِطِ بْنِ هِنْبٍ بْنِ أَفْصَى بْنِ جَدِيلَةَ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نِزَارٍ، وَيُقَالُ: أَفْصَى بْنُ دُعْمِيِّ بْنِ جَدِيلَةَ بْنِ أَسَدٍ، وَيُقَالُ: صُهَيْبٌ: مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ تَيْمٍ، وَيُقَالُ: إنَّهُ رُومِيٌّ. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ، إنَّمَا كَانَ أَسِيرًا فِي أَرْضِ الرُّومِ، فَاشْتُرِيَ مِنْهُمْ. وَجَاءَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: صُهَيْبٌ سَابِقُ الرُّومِ
