English translation
Abu Huraira reported:
We were sitting in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that Sura al-Jumu'a was revealed to him and when he recited (these words):" Others from amongst them who have not yet joined them," a person amongst them (those who were sitting there) said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made no reply, until he questioned him once, twice or thrice. And there was amongst us Salman the Persian. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) placed his hand on Salman and then said: Even if faith were near the Pleiades, a man from amongst these would surely find it.
