Ruzbeh | Salman's Persian name was Ruzbeh.<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk'', vol. 3, p. 171.</ref> His father, Khushfudan, was a landlord in [[Isfahan]] and he believed in [[Zoroastrianism]].

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. | ::"My father was a farmer, and I was living in a village, Jay in Isfahan.

On my way to the farm, I noticed a [[Christianity|Christian]] [[church]], and I entered. Their prayer attracted my attention. I thought this religion is better than ours. I asked about the origins of this religion, and they answered: [[Syria]]. Therefore, I ran away and traveled to Syria where I served the bishops and learned about Christianity. Upon his death, the bishop introduced a monk to me in [[Mosul]] to learn from him. After serving him, the monk of Mosul introduced another monk in [[Nusaybin]] who in turn introduced a monk in 'Amuriyya to me. Eventually the monk in 'Amuriyya told me about the new [[prophet]], as he said: it's the time for a new prophet to emerge who will continue the religion of [[Ibrahim (a)]]. His sign is that he shall never accept charity ([[Sadaqa]]), but he accepts gifts; he also has [[seal of prophethood|the Seal]] between his shoulders. | ||
::In order to find the Prophet, I traveled with a caravan | ::In order to find the Prophet, I traveled with a caravan from the tribe of Banu Kalb to [[Hijaz]], then in [[Wadi l-Qura]], I found out that I had been sold to a Jew as a slave. He sold me to his cousin, who brought me to [[Medina]]."<ref>Ibn Abī l-Ḥadīd, ''Sharh nahj al-balāgha'', vol. 18, p. 37-38.</ref> | ||
== | ==Conversion to Islam== | ||
Salman converted to [[Islam]] in the first year after [[Hijra]]/622, in [[Jumada I]]. Salman had heard of a Prophet who won't accept any charity ([[sadaqa]]) food, but he accepts gifts and he has the Seal between his shoulders. Thus, when he met [[Muhammad (s)]] in [[Quba]], he gave some food he had collected as charity to the Prophet Muhammad (s), the Prophet gave the all of it to his companions, and he did not eat any from it. Another time, Salman gave some food to the Prophet (s) as a gift, and then he noticed the Prophet Muhammad (s) ate some of it. And at the third time, he saw the Prophet Muhammad (s) in a funeral of his friend, where he finally saw the Seal between the Prophet's shoulders. After that Salman went down on his knees in front of the Prophet (s) and praised him, and then he converted to Islam.<ref>Ibn Ḥishām, ''al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 219.</ref> | Salman converted to [[Islam]] in the first year after [[Hijra]]/622, in [[Jumada I]].

Salman disagreed with the [[Event of Saqifa]]. [[Miqdad]], Salman, [[Aba Dharr]], [['Ubada b. Samit]], [[Abu l-Haytham b. al-Tayhan]], [[Hudhayfa]], and [[Ammar b. Yasir]] gathered around at the night after the Event of Saqifa to decide on [[Caliphate]] in the community of [[Muhajirun]]. Salman and [['Ubay b. Ka'b]] had numerous reasons to disagree with the Event of Saqifa. The famous sentence of Salman on those [[sahaba]] of Prophet (s) who took an oath of [[allegiance]] to [[Abu Bakr]] was: "You did and you did not" Which means you chose a Caliph, but refused to accept the Prophet Muhammad's order. He said in the day, you chose an elder man, but you left the family of Prophet Muhammad (s) alone; if you had chosen a member of [[Ahl al-Bayt]], there would not be any conflict. And also you would have enjoyed its blessings. | Salman disagreed with the [[Event of Saqifa]]. [[Miqdad]], Salman, [[Aba Dharr]], [['Ubada b.
