"عَنْ سُلَيْمانَ بْنِ عَبْد الله، عَنْ مَعَاذَةَ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًا وَهُو يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ يَقُولُ: أَنَا الصِّديقُ الأَكْبَرُ؛ آمَنْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَأَسْلَمْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ".

"From Sulayman ibn 'Abd Allah, from Mu'adhah al-'Adawiyyah, who said: I heard Ali, while he was delivering a sermon on the pulpit of Basrah, saying: I am al-Siddiq al-Akbar. I believed before Abu Bakr believed, and I embraced Islam before he embraced it."
