Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 12509 — I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَبِّحُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْعُكْلِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، ثنا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَنْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ؟ قَالَ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ: «
[البحر البسيط]
إِذَا تَذَكَّرْتَ شَجْوًا مِنْ أَخِي ثِقَةٍ ... فَاذْكُرْ أَخَاكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ بِمَا فَعَلَا
خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ أَتْقَاهَا وَأَعْدَلُهَا ... إِلَّا النَّبِيُّ وَافَاهَا لِمَا حَمَلَا
وَالثَّانِي التَّالِي الْمَحْمُودُ مَشْهَدُهُ ... وَأَوَّلُ النَّاسِ مِنْهُمْ صَدَّقَ الرُّسُلَا»
Amir al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): Who was the first person to accept Islam? He said: Abu Bakr. Have you not heard these verses of Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him):
"When you recall the grief of a trustworthy brother, then remember your brother Abu Bakr for what he did."
"The best of creation, the most God-fearing and the most just of them, except the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the most faithful in fulfilling what he bore."
"And the second, the one who followed (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him), whose presence is praiseworthy, and the first of the people to affirm the truth of the messengers."
