"عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ أَنَّ ابْن عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ بَدْء إِسْلَامِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: بَلَغَهُ أَن رَجُلًا خَرَجَ بِمَكَّةَ يزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِي، فَبَعْت أَخَاهُ فَقَالَ: انْطَلِق إِلَى مَكَّةَ حَتَّى تَأتِيَنِي بِخَبَرِه، وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ إِسْلَامِهِ أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَي مَكَّةَ مَعَهُ شَنَة فِيهَا مَاؤُهُ وَزَادُهُ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجَدَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَل أَحَدًا عَنْ شَيْء وَلَمْ يَلقَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ وَكَانَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِد حَتَّى أَمْسَى، فَمَرَّ بِهِ عَلِيُّ بْن أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ: أَمَا آنَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ مَنْزِلَهُ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ مَعَهُ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُوكِ الله ﷺ وَأَخْبَرَهُ خَبَرَهُ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله مُرْنِي بمَا شِئْت، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَهْلكَ حَتَّى يَأتِيَكَ خَبَرِي، فَقَالَ: وَالله مَا كُنْتُ لأَرْجِعَ حَتَّى أَصْرُخَ بِالإِسْلَامِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسجِدِ فَصَاحَ بِأَعْلَي صَوْتِهِ أَشْهَدُ أَن لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ: صَبَأَ الرَّجُلُ، صَبَأَ الرَّجُلُ، ثُمَّ قَامُوا إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبُوهُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ".

"From Abu Jamrah, that Ibn 'Abbas informed them about the beginning of the conversion of Abu Dharr. He said: News reached him that a man had emerged in Makkah claiming to be a prophet, so he sent his brother, saying: 'Go to Makkah until you bring me news of him.' He mentioned the story of his conversion: he set off until he reached Makkah with a waterskin containing his water and his provisions. He entered the mosque and did not ask anyone about anything, and did not meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he stayed in a corner of the mosque until evening. 'Ali ibn Abi Talib passed by him and said: 'Has it not come time for the man to know his lodging?' He passed by him with him following his trail until he entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of his news. Then he embraced Islam. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, command me as you wish.' He said: 'Return to your family until my news reaches you.' He said: 'By Allah, I will not return until I proclaim Islam.' So he went out to the mosque and cried out at the top of his voice: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' The polytheists said: 'The man has apostatized, the man has apostatized!' Then they rose against him and beat him until he fell."
