Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to him -ra ...
Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to him -ra , \u2018Inform me, who you -ra are, and who your -ra father is, and what is your -ra origin\u2019. \n So he -ra said: \u2018I -ra am Salman -ra son of a servant of Allah -azwj . I -ra had strayed, so Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Guided me -ra by Muhammad -saww , and I -asws was needy, so Allah -azwj Made me -ra to be self-sufficient by Muhammad -saww , and I -ra was a slave, so Allah -azwj Freed me -ra by Muhammad -saww .
This is my -ra lineage, and this is my -asws affiliation\u2019. \n He -asws said: \u2018Rasool-Allah -saww came out and Salman -ra spoke to him -saww . Salman -ra said to him -saww , \u2018O Rasool-Allah -saww , what has been meted out to me -ra from those when I -ra was seated with them. They took to priding themselves over their lineages and ancestry to the extent that they reached me -ra .
Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to me, \u2018Who are you -ra , and what is your -ra origin, and what is your -ra status?\u2019 \n The Prophet -saww said: \u2018So what did you -ra say to him, O Salman -ra ?\u2019 He -ra said, \u2018I -ra said, \u2018\u2018I -ra am Salman -ra son of a servant of Allah -azwj .
I -ra had strayed, so Allah -azwj Guided me -ra through Muhammad -saww , and I -asws was needy, so Allah -azwj Made me -ra to be self-sufficient through Muhammad -saww , and I -ra was a slave, so Allah -azwj Freed me -ra through Muhammad -saww . This is my -ra lineage, and this is my -asws affiliation\u2019. \n Rasool-Allah -saww said: \u2018O group of Quraysh, the nobility of a man is his Religion, and his chivalry in his manners, and his origin is his intellect.
And Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: O you people! We Created you from a male and a female and Made you as nations and tribes in order to recognise each other. Surely, the most honourable of you in the Presence of Allah is the most pious of you. Surely Allah is Knowing, Aware [49:13] .
\n Then the Prophet -saww said to Salman -ra : \u2018There is no merit over you -ra from any of these ones except by fear of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, and if there is piety for you -ra over them, then you -ra are more meritorious\u2019\u2019. [6] \n In a lengthy Hadeeth, Rasool Allah -saww said: And as for the restrained sword, it is a sword against the people of rebellion and the interpretation. Allah -azwj Said: And if two parties from the Momineen fight, then reconcile between them.
