وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ، ثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، ثَنَا أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، أَسْلَمَ قَبْلِي ثَلَاثَةٌ وَأَنَا الرَّابِعُ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ الِاسْتِبْشَارَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ: جُنْدُبٌ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ

✧ I was the fourth of four in Islam: three embraced Islam before me, and I was the fourth. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger." He said: Then I saw joy in his face ﷺ. He said: "Who are you?" I said: "Jundub, a man from Banu Ghifar."
