A group of Arab leaders from the Kalb tribe passed through Ammuriyah. Sayyedina Salman Farsi Radi Allahu anhu asked them to take him with them to the land of the Arabs, in return for whatever money he had. They agreed to take him along. When they reached Wadi al-Qura (a place between Syria and Madinah), the Arabs broke their agreement and made him a slave, then sold Salman Radi Allahu anhu to a Jew. Salman Radi Allahu anhu worked as a servant for him but he eventually sold him to a nephew of his, belonging to the tribe of Banu Qurayzah. This nephew took Salman Radi Allahu anhu with him to Yathrib, the city of palm groves, which is how the Christian at Ammuriyah had described it.
At that time the beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam was inviting his people in Makkah to Islam but Salman Radi Allahu anhu did not know of this because of the harsh duties slavery imposed upon him. When the beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam reached Yathrib(Madina) after his hijrah from Makkah, Salman Radi Allahu anhu was on top of a palm tree doing some work. Salman's Radi Allahu anhu master was sitting under the tree. A nephew of Salman's Radi Allahu anhu master came up and said, 'May Allah declare war on the Aws and the Khazraj (the two main Arab tribes of Yathrib). By Allah, they are now gathering at Quba to meet a man, who has just today, arrived from Makkah and who claims to be Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.'
Salman Radi Allahu anhu felt light-headed upon hearing these words and began to shiver so violently that he had to climb down, in fear that he may fall. He quickly swung down from the tree and spoke to his master's nephew.
'What did you say? Repeat the news for me.'
Salman's Radi Allahu anhu master grew angry at this breach of protocol and struck him a terrible blow. 'What does this matter to you'? Go back to what you were doing,' he shouted.
That evening, Salman Radi Allahu anhu took some dates that he had gathered and went to the place where the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam had alighted. He went to him and said, 'I have heard that you are a righteous man and that you have companions with you who are strangers and are in need. Here is something from me as sadaqah. I see that you are more deserving of it than others are.'
The Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam ordered his companions to eat but he himself refrained. Salman Radi Allahu anhu gathered some more dates and when the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam left Quba for Madinah, Salman Radi Allahu anhu went to him and said, 'I noticed that you did not eat of the sadaqah I gave. This however is a gift for you.' Of this gift of dates, both he and his companions ate.
The strict honesty of the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam was one of the characteristics that led Salman Radi Allahu anhu to believe in him and accept Islam. Salman Radi Allahu anhu was released from slavery by the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam , who paid his Jewish master a stipulated price, and who himself planted an agreed number of date palms to secure Salman's Radi Allahu anhu manumission. After accepting Islam, Salman Radi Allahu anhu would say when asked whose son he was, 'I am Salman, the son of Islam from the children of Adam.'
