Salmān minnā Ahl al-Bayt, lit: "Salmān is from us, the Ahl al-Bayt" is a famous, widely transmitted, and authentic-chain hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (s) concerning the virtues and rank of Salman al-Farsi. Some of the Imams of the Shia, such as Imam Ali (a), Imam al-Sajjad (a), and Imam al-Baqir (a), have also narrated this hadith independently or by quoting the Messenger of God (s).

The incident of digging the trench during the Battle of the Confederates and the remark by 'Umar b. al-Khattab regarding Salman not being an Arab are among the events reported as the reason for the issuance of this hadith by the Messenger of God (s).

Al-Shaykh al-Saduq, al-Shaykh al-Tusi, and al-Shaykh al-Mufid are among the Shia scholars, and Ibn Sa'd and Ibn Hisham are among the Sunni scholars who have narrated this hadith in their books.

Some have said that the Messenger of God's intention in the hadith "Salmān minnā ahl al-bayt" is that Salman is upon our religion. Others have considered this hadith to be an expression of Salman's rank in terms of the closeness of his belief, morals, and deeds to Prophet Muhammad (s).

Muhammad Ali Asbar published a book in 1413/1992 titled "Salmān minnā ahl al-bayt" in Beirut, about the life and circumstances of Salman al-Farsi and the hadith "Salmān minnā ahl al-bayt."

"Salman is from us, the Ahl al-Bayt" is a hadith that, according to Shia researchers, was first issued by the Prophet of Islam (s). According to hadith sources, some Imams of the Shia have also stated it directly or quoted the Prophet (s). For example, Imam Ali (a), in response to a question about Salman, mentioned him as being from the Ahl al-Bayt (a). In the book al-Kāfī by al-Kulayni (d. 329/940), a hadith is also narrated from Imam al-Sajjad (a) with varying expressions in which Salman is considered to be from the Ahl al-Bayt. Additionally, according to a hadith from the book Rawdat al-wa'izin by Fattal Nayshaburi, Salman al-Farsi was mentioned in the presence of Imam al-Baqir (a). The Imam invited them to silence and said to call him "Salman Muhammadi," because he is from the Ahl al-Bayt (a). In Rijal al-Kashshi, a narration is also transmitted from Imam al-Sadiq (a) regarding "Salman minna ahl al-bayt."...
