Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34505 — Reports on the virtue of Salman

Abu al-Bakhtari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: People asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Tell us about Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him)." He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "He attained the knowledge of the earlier people and the later people. He was an ocean whose depths cannot be drained. He was one of our own household."
