عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ حَاصَرَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَصْرًا مِنْ قُصُورِ فَارِسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَنْهَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ لَا حَتَّى أَدْعُوَهُمْ كَمَا كَانَ يَدْعُوهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَالَ أَنَا رَجُلٌ فَارِسِيٌّ وَأَنَا مِنْكُمْ وَالْعَرَبُ يُطِيعُونَنِي فَاخْتَارُوا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ إِمَّا أَنْ تُسْلِمُوا وَإِمَّا أَنْ تُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَأَنْتُمْ صَاغِرُونَ غَيْرُ مَحْمُودِينَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نُنَابِذَكُمْ فَنُقَاتِلَكُمْ قَالُوا لَا نُسْلِمُ وَلَا نُعْطِي الْجِزْيَةَ وَلَكِنَّا نُنَابِذُكُمْ فَرَجَعَ سَلْمَانُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ قَالُوا أَلَا تَنْهَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَدَعَاهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوا فَقَاتَلَهُمْ فَفَتَحَهَا
Abu Bakhtari says: Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) laid siege to a fortress among the palaces of Persia. His companions said to him: O Abu Abdullah! Will you not stand up against them (and attack them)? He said: No, not until I invite them, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to invite. So he went to them and spoke to them thus: I am a Persian man, I am from among you, these Arabs obey me. Choose one of three matters: either accept Islam, or pay the jizya with your own hands, in a state of humiliation and you will not be praised, or else we will declare war against you and begin fighting. They said: We will neither accept Islam nor pay the jizya, rather we declare war against you. Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) returned to his companions. They said: Will you not now stand up against them? He said: No. Then he invited them for three days, but they did not accept. Then he began fighting them and conquered the fortress.
