Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of the hand of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "This is the first person to believe in me, and he will be the first to shake hands with me on the Day of Resurrection. This is al-Siddiq al-Akbar (the greatest truthful one), and this is the Faruq of this Ummah, who will distinguish between truth and falsehood. This is the leader of the believers, while wealth is the leader of the wrongdoers."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and al-Bazzar recorded it from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) alone, and in it he recorded these words: "You are the first person to believe in me." He also recorded these words in this narration: "Wealth is the leader of the disbelievers." Its chain contains Amr bin Sa'id al-Misri, who is da'if (weak).
