Hazrat Abu Al-Bakhtari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that when Hazrat Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) set out to fight the polytheists of Persia, he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You all wait until I invite them as I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invite." He (may Allah be pleased with him) went to them and said: "Indeed, I am a man from among you, and you have seen my status among this nation. Surely, we invite you to Islam. If you accept Islam, you will have the same rights as we have, and the same obligations will be upon you as are upon us. And if you refuse to accept Islam, then you must pay Jizya in a state of humiliation and subjugation. And if you refuse to pay Jizya as well, then we will fight you." They replied: "In any case, we will not accept Islam, nor will we pay Jizya. As for fighting, we will certainly fight and battle with you." The narrator says: He (may Allah be pleased with him) invited them in this way for three days, and they refused to accept. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the people: "Attack them."
