He was born either in Jay district of Isfahan or Ramhormoz. Salman was loved by his father more than his other siblings. As Salman said: "My father was a farmer, and I was living in a village, Jay in Isfahan. My father loved me so much, that he locked me inside the house like a servant. I was not allowed to leave the house. Then I became responsible for keeping the fire burning all the time in a Zoroastrian temple. | ||
One day I was sent by my father to look after the farm. On the way to the farm, I noticed a [[Christianity|Christian]] [[church]], and then I entered. Their prayer attracted my attention. I thought this religion is better than ours. I asked about the originality of this religion, and they answered: [[Sham]]. Therefore, I ran away and travelled to Sham where I served the bishops and learned about Christianity. Before the bishop passed away, he introduced another bishop to me in [[Mosul]] to learn from him. After serving him, the bishop of Mosul introduced another bishop in [[Nasibayn]], and Amuriya to me. Eventually the bishop in Amuriya told me about the new [[Prophethood|prophet]], as he said: it's the time that a new prophet will emerge who will continue the religion of [[Ibrahim (a)]]. He shall never accept [[Sadaqa]], but he accepts gifts; he also has the Seal between his shoulders. In order to find the Prophet, I travelled with a caravan called [[Banu Kalb]] to [[Hijaz]], then I found out in [[Wadi al-Qura]], that I was sold to a Jew as a slave. He sold me to his cousin, who brought me to [[Medina]]." | One day I was sent by my father to look after the farm.
