Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of his arrival in Madinah Munawwarah. He said: I will ask you about three things, only a Prophet can have knowledge about them. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ask. He said: What is the first sign of the Hour (the narrator is unsure about one word here)? What will the people of Paradise eat first? And what is the thing that draws a child towards his father or his mother (because of which the child resembles the mother or the father)? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Just now Jibreel has informed me about these things. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Jibreel? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Among the angels, he is a disliked personality in the eyes of the Jews. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The very first sign of the Hour (the narrator is unsure about one word here) will be a fire that will emerge from the east and will gather the people and drive them towards the west. The first thing the people of Paradise will eat will be the extra lobe of the fish’s liver, and the thing that draws a child towards his father or his mother is: when the man’s fluid prevails over the woman’s fluid, the child resembles the father; when the woman’s fluid prevails over the man’s fluid, the child resembles the mother. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah. He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Jews are a people who are slanderous; call them and ask them what kind of person I am before they know that I have accepted Islam. Then some people from among the Jews came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: What kind of person is Abdullah bin Salam? They said: He is our best person and the son of our best person, he is our leader and the son of our leader, he is our greatest scholar and the son of our greatest scholar. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: What would you say if he accepted Islam? They said: May Allah protect him from that. The narrator says, then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam came out before them and said: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah. Then those Jews said: You are our worst person and the son of our worst person. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was afraid of this very thing.
