Musnad Ahmad Hadith 13868

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah Munawwarah, Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Just now Jibreel has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, he draws the child towards himself, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, she draws the child towards herself." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they come to know of my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things before you. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me before they know of my Islam: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith before them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I had already informed you that the Jews are a people who fabricate slanders."
