Muhammad ibn Sa'd said: “I asked my father: ‘Was Abu Bakr the first of you to accept Islam?’ He replied: ‘No. More than fifty people had accepted Islam before him, but he was the best of us in Islam.’”

Umar Would Not Become Muslim Until al-Khattab’s Donkey Became Muslim
Al-Haythami in Majma' al-Zawa'id, vol. 6, p. 23, Hadith 9840
Layla said that Umar ibn al-Khattab was among the harshest people toward them because of their Islam. When she told her husband Amir ibn Rabi'ah about seeing some softness from Umar and said that she hoped he would accept Islam, Amir replied: “By Allah, he will not become Muslim until al-Khattab’s donkey becomes Muslim.” Al-Haythami said: “Al-Tabarani narrated it, and Ibn Ishaq explicitly stated that he heard it, so it is sahih.”
والله لا يسلم حتى يسلم حمار الخطاب. رواه الطبراني، وقد صرح ابن إسحاق بالسماع؛ فهو صحيح.
