He said, 'This is a charity from Allah to you, so accept His charity.'"

Hazrat Abu Laila narrates that Hazrat Salman set out for a battle with twelve companions. He was the eldest among them. When the time for prayer arrived, everyone said, "O Abu Abdullah! Please lead us in prayer." He replied, "I do not have the right to lead; you are Arabs and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was from among you. Therefore, one of you should step forward and lead the prayer." So, one of them stepped forward and led four rak‘ahs. When we completed the prayer, Hazrat Salman said, "Why did we pray four rak‘ahs? For us, half of four, that is, two rak‘ahs, would have sufficed."

Hazrat Rabi’ bin Nazlah narrates that we set out on a journey with twelve or thirteen men; except for me, all the others were companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

When the prayer was finished, Hazrat Salman said,“Why did we pray four rak‘ahs? For us, half of four—two rak‘ahs—are sufficient. We are more in need of concession.”Upon this, everyone said,“O Abu Abdullah! You should lead the prayer.”He replied,“You, the descendants of Ismail, are the imams, and we are the ministers.”
