(ذِكْرُ حَضْرَةِ سَلْمَانَ الفَارِسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)
(Mention of Hazrat Salman al-Farisi, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 6212
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يلْحقُوا بهم] قَالُوا: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: وَفِينَا سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَالَ: فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَوْ كَانَ الْإِيمَانُ عِنْدَ الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ رجالٌ من هَؤُلَاءِ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Abu Huraira said: When we were sitting with the Prophet sura al-Jum u'a came down. Then when the words "and others of them who have not yet joined them" came down, the people asked God's messenger who they were. Salman al-Farisi was among us, and placing his hand on Salman the Prophet said, "If faith were in the Pleiades some of these men would attain it." (Bukhari and Muslim.)
