Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 1604 — I was the fourth in accepting Islam

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلُّوَيْهِ الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ الْيَمَامِيُّ، ثنا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ الْجُرَشِيُّ، ثنا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ثنا أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رَبْعَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَسْلَمَ، قَبْلِي ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ، وَأَنَا الرَّابِعُ، أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، فَرَأَيْتُ الِاسْتِبْشَارَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا جُنْدُبٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، فَكَأَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ارْتَدَعَ وَوَدَّ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ غَيْرِ الَّتِي أَنَا مِنْهُمْ، وَذَاكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ يَسْرِقُونَ الْحَاجَّ، بِمَحَاجِنَ لَهُمْ
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was the fourth in accepting Islam; three men had accepted Islam before me, and I was the fourth. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah; I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I saw joy in the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who are you?" I said: I am Jundub, a man of Banu Ghifar. It was as though he (peace and blessings be upon him) (on hearing this) held back, and wished that I were from some tribe other than the one I was from. The reason for this was that I was from a tribe who used to steal the pilgrims' belongings with their hooked sticks.
