Salman was [[monotheist]] who converted to [[Christianity]] in his childhood. When he had changed his religion, Salman was forced to leave his hometown. In order to find the truth about Christianity, he started his travels and met a number of priests and bishops in different [[churche]]s. When he arrived in [[Syria]], he settled in [[Sham]] (Levant), [[Mosul]] and [[Nasibayn]]. Then he was captured as a slave by [[Banu Kalb]]. After some time he was sold to a person from [[Banu Qurayza]] and was taken to [[Medina]]. When he saw [[Muhammad b. Abd-Allah (s)]], Salman figured out that he was the Prophet that his mentor had described to him. After meeting the Prophet Muhammad (s) Salman converted to Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (s) bought him and then freed him from slavery. After that Prophet (s) named him Salman. He was such a true Muslim that Prophet (s) once said: "Salman is a member of my [[Ahl al-Bayt]]." | Salman was [[monotheist]] who converted to [[Christianity]] in his childhood.
