Summary

In this video, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi elaborates in vivid detail, the life and times of Salman Al Farsi RA and his role in the future of Islam. Continuing from where he left off, when Salman RA reaches Quba, he begins to get very excited about meeting Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and begins his quest to search for the three signs that shall help him identify the Messenger of Allah ﷺ - he does not accept Sadaqah, he accepts Hadiyah and there is a seal that signifies him being Rasoolullah ﷺ. We now gather valid and essential information about the incidents that transpired en route his way to meeting the Prophet ﷺ. This is a majestic and surreal moment for Salman RA and words do not do justice to illustrate his inner emotions and feelings on witnessing this impossible event. Salman RA couldn't participate in the battle of Badr and Uhud because he was bound by the laws of slavery.Then he applied the laws of Mukatibah that were suggested to him by the Prophet ﷺ. But his owner turned out be stingy and set a huge amount for his freedom - 300 date palms should be planted and 40 uqiyah of silver should be given. The Prophet ﷺ heard of this and took it upon himself to plant the date palm seeds one after the other and by the miracle of Allah bestowed in the hands of the Prophet ﷺ, all the trees were healthy and bore fruit. Salman Al Farsi RA true test of his knowledge and experiences of war came during the Battle of khandaq - explicit details have been shared and is worth a listen.a famous Hadith was narrated during this battle which was when the Muhajirun and the Ansars were calling onto Salman RA to join their side of the army which was made into groups to commence the digging of the trench.Rasoolullah ﷺ saw this and announced, “Salman minna Ahlul Bait!” which means that Salman is from Ahlul Bait! What a better honour than this to have been bestowed upon Salman! Salman RA died of khilafat of Uthman RA and there are around 30 Hadith narrated by him. When Salman Al Farsi RA was dying on his deathbed, he said to Sa’d Ibn Waqqas RA,” Do not cry in grief or eagerness for this life, but because Allah’s Messenger ﷺ has recommended that one should only collect what is sufficient as provision for a traveller. However, we did not implement his order. For many interesting tidbits as these, please do listen intently to the video and me mesmerised by the stature of Salman Al Farsi RA in Islam.

0:50.8

he was certain that this was the land described to him.

So I'm gonna had mentioned that the last teacher that he had had mentioned specific

al-Subhana even though he wasn't a Muslim but he was certain that Allah
