اذْهَبْ يَا سَلْمَانُ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَآذِنِّي أَكُونُ مَعَكَ أَنَا أَضَعُهَا بِيَدِي، فَفَقَّرْتُ لَهَا، وَأَعَانَنِي أَصْحَابِي حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغْتُ جِئْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعِي إِلَيْهَا فَجَعَلْنَا نُقَرِّبُ لَهُ الْوَدِيَّ وَيَضَعُهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغْنَا، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ سَلْمَانَ بِيَدِهِ مَا مَاتَ مِنْهَا نَخْلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَأَدَّيْتُ النَّخْلَ، وَبَقِيَ عَلَيَّ الْمَالُ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِ بَيْضَةِ الدَّجَاجَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْمَعَادِنِ قَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ الْفَارِسِيُّ الْمُكَاتَبُ ؟ فَدُعِيتُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: خُذْ هَذِهِ فَأَدِّ بِهَا مَا عَلَيْكَ يَا سَلْمَانُ فَقُلْتُ، وَأَيْنَ تَقَعُ هَذِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِمَّا عَلَيَّ ؟ قَالَ: خُذْهَا فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَيُؤَدِّي بِهَا عَنْكَ فَوَزَنْتُ لَهُ مِنْهَا، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ سَلْمَانَ بِيَدِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً فَأَوْفَيْتُهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ، وَعَتَقَ سَلْمَانُ، وَشَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْخَنْدَقَ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَفُتْنِي مَعَهُ مَشْهَدٌ.
✧ "Go, O Salman, and when you finish, let me know and I will be with you; I will plant them with my own hand." So I prepared the holes for them, and my companions helped me until when I finished, I came to him and told him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with me to them, and we brought the young palm shoots near to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ planted them with his own hand until we finished. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Salman, not a single palm tree among them died. I paid off the palms, and the money remained due. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought something like a chicken's egg of gold from some mines. He said: "What has the Persian slave who has a contract of manumission done?" I was called to him, and he said: "Take this and pay what you owe with it, O Salman." I said: Where will this fall, O Messenger of Allah, against what I owe? He said: "Take it, for Allah will pay on your behalf with it." I weighed for him from it, and by the One in whose hand is the soul of Salman, forty uqiyyahs, and I paid them their due. Salman became free, and I witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Battle of the Trench; then no expedition with him ever missed me.

If you believe and emigrate, you will have the same status as us.

Abu Bakr ؓ met me and said: 'Perhaps you were upset with me when you offered Hafsah to me and I did not reply?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Nothing prevented me from replying to your offer except that I already knew the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had mentioned Hafsah, and I would not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
