Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The first person to pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Amr says: I mentioned this to Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, and he rejected it, saying: That first person was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
