It is narrated from Hazrat Shahr bin Hawshab that he says: Hazrat Salman went to the house of Hazrat Abu Darda but did not find him there. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) greeted Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: Where is my brother? She replied: In the mosque, and she was wearing her husband's Qutwani cloak. Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) threw an old cushion towards him. He refused to sit on it, took off his turban, placed it on the ground, and sat on it. The narrator says: Then Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, carrying meat worth two dirhams. So Umm Darda stood up, cooked it, and baked bread. Then she brought the food. Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) was fasting. Hazrat Salman said: Who will eat with me? She said: Umm Darda will eat with you. Hazrat Salman did not let him break his fast alone. Then Hazrat Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Umm Darda: You have seen his worn-out condition. What has happened to you? She replied: Your brother has no desire for women. He fasts during the day and stands in prayer at night. So he spent the night at their place. Whenever Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to stand (for prayer), Hazrat Salman would stop him, until the time before Fajr came, then he stood up, performed ablution, and offered a few rak‘ahs. The narrator says: Upon this, Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: You have stopped me from my prayer. Hazrat Salman said to him: Pray and sleep. Fast and break your fast, for your family has a right over you, and your eyes have a right over you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Salman and other companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they say: On the Day of Resurrection, a man will be brought who will have performed such deeds by which he will hope for salvation. The narrator says: But people will keep coming and complaining about the wrongs he committed against them. Thus, from his good deeds, some will be given to the one who complains, until none of his good deeds remain. Then, if another person comes to complain about his wrongs, the complainant’s sins will be taken and placed upon that man’s record. Then he will be thrown face down into Hell, or he will be cast into Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Salman that he says: If a man spends the night by giving a white slave, and another man spends the night reciting the Qur'an and remembering Allah, then in my opinion, the one who remembers Allah is superior.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Salma that he says: When Hazrat Salman received a goat from the spoils, he would slaughter it, then cut its meat into pieces, and make a waterskin from its hide, and make a rope from its hair. Then, if he saw someone in need of a horse’s rope, he would give him that rope, and if he saw someone in need of a waterskin, he would give him the waterskin.

Hazrat Abu al-Bakhtari narrates that he says: A man from the tribe of Banu Abs was with Hazrat Salman. He came to the river Dijlah (Tigris), so Hazrat Salman said to him, "Drink water." He drank water. Then he said to him, "Drink water." He drank water. Then he said to him, "Drink water." He drank water. Then Hazrat Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "O brother of Banu Abs! Do you see that your sip has lessened the water of this Dijlah?" In the same way, knowledge is an unending thing. So seek beneficial knowledge for yourself. Then he passed by some canals where there was some food and grains were being blown away in the air. He said, "O brother of Banu Abs! That man who was the owner of its treasures while you were alive, those people would pass their mornings and evenings in such a state that they did not have even a qafeez of wheat among them." Then he mentioned Jalula and the conquests of the Muslims regarding it and said, "O brother of Banu Abs! Allah Almighty has granted you this, although Allah Almighty was capable of this even when Muhammad (peace be upon him) was alive."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Uthman who says that Hazrat Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Surely the marketplace is the place where Satan lays eggs and his offspring emerge. So if you can avoid being the first to enter the marketplace and the last to leave it, then do so.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aws bin Zim‘aj that he says: We said to Hazrat Salman, "O Abu Abdullah! Why do you not narrate hadith to us?" He said, "The remembrance of Allah is very great: feeding food, spreading salam, and praying while people are asleep."
