The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Salman through a different chain of narrators. This version goes: Salman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about locusts. He replied in a similar way (as mentioned above) saying: The most numerous of Allah’s host. The narrator Ali said: His name is Fa’id, that is the name of al-Awwam. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Hammad bin Salamah, from Abu al-Awwam from Abu uthman, from the Prophet ﷺ. He did not mention salman (i. e., the companions).
