First Child to Accept Islam

Those who have compiled the biographies have also discussed at length as to whether it was Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra), Hazrat Ali (ra) or Hazrat Zaid (ra) who was the first among the men to accept Islam. Some have reconciled this matter by stating that Hazrat Ali (ra) was the first to accept Islam amongst the children, Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) was the first amongst the elders and Hazrat Zaid (ra) was the first amongst the slaves.
