Salman converted to [[Islam]] in [[Jumada I]], [[1]]/Nov-Dec, [[622 CE|622]], . Salman had heard of a prophet who won't accept any charity ([[sadaqa]]) food, but he accepts gifts, and he has the seal of prophethood 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 (s) gave 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 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 [[Jumada I]], [[1]]/Nov-Dec, [[622 CE|622]], .
