It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood between Sayyiduna Salman and Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with them both). Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) came to visit Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) and saw Sayyidah Umm al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with her) in a dishevelled state (having given up adornment), and asked: "What is the matter with you?" She said: "Your brother has no need of this world." When Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) came, Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) welcomed him and placed food before him, and said to him: "Eat." He said: "I am fasting." Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I adjure you to eat; I will not eat until you eat." So he ate with him, and Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed the night at his house. When it was night, Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) got up (to pray), but Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) made him sit down and said: "O Abu al-Darda'! Your Lord has a right over you, your family has a right over you, and your body has a right over you; give everyone who has a right his right. Fast and also break your fast, stand in prayer and also sleep, and go to your wife." When the time of dawn drew near, he said: "Get up now." So both of them got up and prayed, then went out for the (obligatory) prayer. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished leading the prayer, Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) went to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) had said, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him the same thing that Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) had said.
