As the name suggests Moulana Salman al-FarisiRA<\/sup>\u00a0hailed from Faris (Persia) and was born into a Zoroastrian family.<\/p>\n

His parents were landowners and once, whilst passing through his father\u2019s lands Moulana SalmanRA<\/sup>\u00a0chanced upon a monastery and was enthralled by the lofty virtues of the Christian monks. He thought to himself that their faith is superior to mine and started spending more time with them .His father was displeased with his leaning towards Christianity and a series of events followed.<\/p>\n

He left his home to live in the service of the last few true disciples of Eesa NabiSA<\/sup>. On his deathbed the last of these sages said that there are none left on the true path of Easa nabi that i could direct you towards, but the time has now come for the last of the messengers of Allah. He was told that this messenger would be from the Arab lands, that he would accept gifts but not charity and that he would have the seal of prophethood upon his shoulder.<\/p>\n

From hereon began Moulana Salman\u2019sRA<\/sup>\u00a0quest to find RasulullahSA<\/sup>. A hadith of RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0alludes to him when he says, \u201cIf this faith was as far-flung as Suraiyya (name of a constellation) a man from Faris would have grasped it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moulana SalmanRA<\/sup>\u00a0joined a caravan belonging to the Kalb tribe to take him to the Arab lands but they treacherously sold him as a slave to a Jewish trader who, subsequently, sold him to his cousin. That cousin then took Moulana SalmanRA<\/sup>\u00a0along with him to his place of residence in Madinah.<\/p>\n

In Madinah Moulana SalmanRA<\/sup>\u00a0heard the Jews talking amongst themselves about the advent of “the new prophet in Makkah.” Upon hearing this he set off to ascertain the truth of this rumour.<\/p>\n

He approached RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0with some dates that he had set aside for charity saying that he knew RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0and his companions were in need. RasulullahSAW<\/sup>\u00a0immediately declined his offer.<\/p>\n

The next day he presented some dates to RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0as a gift. RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0accepted them and invited his companions to partake of them with him. Finally, believing he had witnessed beyond doubt that RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0was indeed Allah’s last messenger, Moulana Salman’sRA<\/sup>\u00a0joy knew no bounds,his quest was over and he knelt down and performed sajda shedding tears of joy.<\/p>\n

RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0later asked him to negotiate a mukatabat with his master; that is that after a given number of chores or payments achieved through work, the master agrees to set the slave free. The conditions of mukatabat laid down by the Jewish master were arduous including the planting of of 300 date palms and for them to bear fruit. RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0and his companions helped plant the 300 palms and by the barakat of Rasulullah`sSA<\/sup>\u00a0hand, they all bore fruit in a very short time. Moulana Salmanul-FarisiRA<\/sup>\u00a0was a free man once again.<\/p>\n

RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0would often say that, “Salmano minna ahle-l-bait” “Salman is one of us, the ahle-l-bait (people of the house)”.<\/p>\n

HuzuralaTUS<\/sup>\u00a0mentions in a waaz that once RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0sent SalmanRA<\/sup>\u00a0on some errand to Molatena Fatema’sSA<\/sup> house. When he knocked on the door there was no answer. Salman noticed that the grinding stone is rotating on its own. In a corner Imam Hasan and Imam Husain were asleep in their cradle being rocked but no hand could be seen rocking it. Molatena FatemaSA<\/sup> was resting as well. In amazement Salman rushed back to RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0and narrated what he had seen. RasulullahSA<\/sup>\u00a0replied, \u201cAs my daughter FatemaSA<\/sup>\u00a0had nobody to assist her in her household chores Allah sent angels from heaven to help her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moulana Salman-ul-FarisiRA<\/sup>\u00a0was foremost amongst the Shias of Moulana Ali-ibn-AbitalibSA<\/sup>.He was the Ameer of Madain, a town close to Baghdad in Iraq when his end drew near. His companions asked him about his wishes regarding his last rites and Salman replied, \u201cmy\u00a0ghusl, kafn, dafn<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0salaat<\/em>\u00a0will be performed by the same person who undertook these duties for Rasulullah, namely Moulana AliSA<\/sup>.\u201d<\/p>\n

People wandered how it would be possible since Moulana AliSA<\/sup>\u00a0was in Madinah a month\u2019s journey away from Mada\u2019in.<\/p>\n

They marvelled at his unshakeable faith and said respectfully that, you are in Mada\u2019in and Moulana AliSA<\/sup>\u00a0is in Madinah! How will it be possible? There was a month’s journey between these two cities. SalmanRA<\/sup>\u00a0replied that his soul would not forsake his body till Amirul Mumineen was by his side and so it happened. It is a matter of great honour for Moulana Salman that Amirul MumineenSA<\/sup>\u00a0conducted his last rites. His qabr mubarak is in Mada\u2019in near Baghdad.<\/p>\n

May Allah`s\u00a0rehmat<\/em>\u00a0and peace be upon him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
