"كُنْتُ رُّبْعَ الإسْلَام، أَسْلَم قَبْلِى - ثَلَاثَةُ نَفْرٍ: النَّبِىُّ ﷺ، وأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَبِلَالٌ، وَأَنَا الرَّابِعُ، أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدهُ وَرَسُولهُ، فَرَأَيْتُ الاسْتِبْشَارَ فِى وَجْهِ رَسُول الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: انَا جُنْدُب رَجُلٌ مِن بَنِى غِفَارٍ فَكَأَنَّهُ ﷺ ارْتَدَعَ وَودَّ أَنّى كُنْتُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ غَيْر الَّتى أَنَا مِنْهُم، وَذَاكَ أَنِّى كُنْتُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ يَسْرِقُونَ الْحَاجَّ بِمَحاجِنَ لَهُمْ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"I was a fourth of Islam; three people had accepted Islam before me: the Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr, and Bilāl, and I was the fourth. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah! I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muḥammad is His servant and His Messenger. Then I saw joy in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: Who are you? I said: I am Jundub, a man of the Banū Ghifār. It was as though he ﷺ held back, and wished that I had been from a tribe other than the one I belong to, and that was because I was from a tribe who used to steal from the pilgrims with their hooked staffs."
