Every gravitationally bound hydrogen atom that is not part of some larger body is tied for this distinction.

The "smallest body" is an essentially meaningless term. How big does something have to be to be a "body" ... an atom, a molecule, a grain of dust, marble-sized, or what? There are a very large number of dust-sized particles orbiting the Sun, some of which occasionally enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up as meteors.
