[Machine] I was one of the first quarter of Islam to embrace it. Three people converted to Islam before me, and I was the fourth. I went to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." I saw joy on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he asked, "Who are you?" I said, "I'm Jundub, a man from the tribe of Ghifar." It seemed that he was surprised and wished that I belonged to a different tribe than the one I was from. That was because I belonged to a tribe that used to steal the caravans with their weapons.
كُنْتُ رَبْعَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَسْلَمَ قَبْلِي ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ وَأَنَا الرَّابِعُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَرَأَيْتُ الِاسْتِبْشَارَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَقُلْتُ أَنَا جُنْدُبٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَكَأَنَّهُ ﷺ ارْتَدَعَ وَوَدَّ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ غَيْرِ الَّتِي أَنَا مِنْهُمْ وَذَاكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ يَسْرِقُونَ الْحَاجَّ بِمَحَاجِنَ لَهُمْ
