عَلِيُّ بنُ أبِي طالِبٍ
Among the earliest converts to Islam: the first child to accept it, around the age of 10.
Ali ibn Abi Talib RA was the cousin of the Prophet ﷺ, raised in his household from infancy, and the first child to accept Islam, at about ten years old. He slept in the Prophet ﷺ's bed on the night of the Hijrah, married his daughter Fatima RA, and became the father of al-Hasan RA and al-Husayn RA.
A renowned warrior, he fought in the opening single combat at Badr, killed Amr ibn Abd Wud at Khandaq, and carried the banner at Khaybar, and the Prophet ﷺ told him he was to him as Harun was to Musa. He became the fourth caliph, and his reign saw civil war with Muawiyah RA, including Siffin in 37 AH, before he was assassinated by the forerunners of the Kharijites.
