Salman
the
Persian
(may
Allah
be
pleased
with
him)
came
to
the
Prophet
(ﷺ)
to
seek
his
counsel
and
his
help.
His
master,
a
Jew
of
the
Bani
Quraizah,
kept
him
so
hard
at
work
on
his
property
south
of
Madinah
that
he
had
never
been
able
to
have
close
contact
with
the
Muslim
community.
It
had
been
out
of
the
question
for
him
to
be
at
Badr
or
Uhud
or
take
part
in
any
of
the
lesser
forays
which
the
Prophet
had
led
or
sent
out
during
the
last
four
years
He
had
asked
his
master
what
it
would
cost
to
set
him
free,
but
the
price
was
far
beyond
his
means.
He
would
have
to
pay
forty
ounces
of
gold
and
plant
three
hundred
date
palms.
The
Prophet
told
him
to
write
his
master
an
agreement
to
pay
the
gold
and
plant
the
trees.
Then
he
called
on
his
Companions
to
help
Salman
with
the
palms,
which
they
did,
one
contributing
thirty
palm-shoots,
another
twenty,
and
so
on,
until
the
full
number
had
been
reached. “Go
dig
the
holes
for
them
Salman,” said
the
Prophet, “and
tell
me
when
thou
hast
done,
and
mine
is
the
hand
that
shall
put
them
in.” The
Companions
helped
Salman
to
prepare
the
ground,
and
the
Prophet
(ﷺ)
planted
each
of
the
three
hundred
shoots,
which
all
took
root
and
thrived.
As
to
the
remainder
of
the
price,
a
piece
of
gold
the
size
of
a
hen’s
egg
had
been
given
to
the
Prophet
(ﷺ)
from
one
of
the
mines,
and
he
gave
it
to
Salman,
telling
him
to
buy
himself
free
with
it. “How
far
will
this
go
towards
what
I
have
to
pay?” said
Salman,
thinking
that
the
price
had
been
greatly
underestimated.
The
Prophet
(ﷺ)
took
the
gold
from
him
and
putting
it
in
his
mouth
he
rolled
his
tongue
around
it.
Then
he
gave
it
back
to
Salman,
saying: “Take
it,
and
pay
them
the
full
price
with
it.” Salman
weighed
out
to
them
forty
ounces
from
it,
and
so
he
became
a
free
man.
