: Men are not superior to another based on their race (being Arab or non-Arab) or the color of their skin, but only piety differentiates them. Salman is a vast sea and an everlasting treasure. Salman is a member of my family (Ahl al-Bayt). He is gifted with knowledge and wisdom.

When Arabs were praising themselves and introducing their lineage (intentionally or unintentionally) then they asked about the ancestors of Salman, he would reply: "I am Salman b. Abd Allah, an ignorant one who was guided by Muhammad (s); a poor who was gifted by Prophet Muhammad (s); and a servant of God who was freed by Muhammad b. Abd Allah. this is my lineage."<ref>Mufīd, ''al-Ikhtiṣāṣ'', p. 341.</ref>
The same statement of the Prophet has also been narrated in another report. Based on this report, during the days when people of Medina were busy digging a [[Battle of Trench|trench]] to confront their enemy, the army of al-Ahzab, Salman al-Farsi who was a strong man played a prominent role in the fulfillment of the task, therefore, [[Migrants]] and [[Helpers]] each considered him a member of their respective group then the Prophet (s) said that Salman is one of us, the Ahl al-Bayt.
 
Other hadiths have been narrated from the Prophet (s) praising Salman including a statement to the fact that the heaven is eager to have [[Ali]], [[Ammar]], and Salman or a hadith based on which God has obliged the Prophet (s) to like Ali, Salman, [[Miqdad]], and Abu Dhar.
 
In Shiite sources, there are hadiths narrated from Imams (a) praising Slaman. In these hadiths, he is generally considered among the first Shiites who are steadfast in faith. Among these hadiths, there is a statement by Imam Ali (a) in which Salman and some other companions such as Abu Dhar, Ammar, and Miqdad have been considered among those for whose blessings, God grants sustenance to people. Imam Ali (a) has also considered Salman as having the knowledge of the first and the last. In a hadith narrated from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] and [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]], it is stated that once in a meeting with Imam (a), Salman al-Farsi's name was mentioned and Imam (a) said not to mention his name as al-Farsi but mention him as Salman al-Muhammadi since he is one of us, Ahl al-Bayt.
