Some of Salman Al-Muhammadi's Narratives in Love of the Prophet's Family

Abstract

Praise be to Allah, the god of the world, and prayer and peace be upon the master of the messengers Mohammed and his good and pure family and his elect companies, more specifically Salman Al-Muhammedi who belongs to the kinship of the prophet (best prayer and peace be upon them). Salman Al-Muhammedi (peace be upon him) was a prominent Islamic personality, one of the great Muslims, a prince of justice, and a genius, assuming a supreme status. He was mentioned in so many tales of the Muslims and non-Muslims as well as in those of the westerners who wrote in the history Islamic events.  Salman (peace be upon him) was one of the wise and pious scientists and companies of the prophet. He was good and virtuous pontiff and ascetic mystic scientist with sharp insight, and pure nature. He got a great status. He walked the distances and roamed the wild destinations looking for the truth. And when the prophet (God prays upon him) entered Almadinah Salman met him and entered Islam. He nurtured the sanctity of the righteousness after the death of god's messenger (peace be upon him). He never went astray from the road of righteousness. He was one of the few who stayed in the prophet's mosque and defended " the succession of righteousness". He was the one of the admirers of Ali bin Abi Talib and the prophet's family (peace be upon them). He was among the few who witnessed the death prayer on the virtuous Fatima Al-Zahraa (peace be on her) and attended her burial amid the sad night. So Salman became one of the prophet's family (peace be upon them) and became interested in their affairs. He heard from the prophet (God's prayer and peace be upon him) a lot of talks about the cordiality of the prophet's family (peace be upon them). Here I mention quotations from the tales of Salman Al-Muhammedi (peace be upon him) about what the great prophet (peace be upon him) said concerning the cordiality of the prophet's family (peace upon them. I don't claim that I collect all what Salman said about loving the prophet's family but I limited my study to some of the prophet's honorable Hadiths leaving the long ones for the sake of pithiness.   I divided the research into four sections: The first section contains the tales and remnants of the prophet's family in cordiality of Salman and showing his status from the viewpoint of the prophet and his family (peace be upon them). The second one deals with Salman's narratives concerning his cordiality to Ameer Al-muamineen Ali bin Abi-Talib (peace be upon him). The talks quoted by Salman (peace be upon him) from the Great Messenger (god's prayer and peace be upon him) in cordiality of the prophet's family as a whole, which express the grace and cordiality of the family, their characteristics, their signs, which are substantiated in the family's individual personalities. This is very clear in reading the tales devoted to the cordiality of Ameer Al-muamineen (peace be upon him) as an indication for the love of the family (peace be upon them). The third section deals with Salman's narratives in the cordiality of the godly character of Fatima Al-Zahraa (peace be upon her) and the unique virtues and the unequaled talents she has. She was the first daughter of Islam who grew up in the embraces of the prophet and the patronage of Imama. She was the impeccable of any sullying and any blemish. She was the perfect woman in Islam, worthy to be imitated in every time and place. The Prophet never missed an opportunity or an occasion without mentioning her greatness, showing her virtues and making clear her status for God and his messenger (peace be upon him). The last section is devoted to quotations from Salman's Al-muhammedi's narratives in cordiality of the prophet's grandsons (peace be upon them). It implies part of the true narratives of the prophet's cordiality to them and his emphasis on their love and following their principles, for they represent the true line of the prophet's message that calls for following the Islamic principles and the methods of the Holy Book and the Mohammedian Suna, theoretically and practically.   What has been said above it is clear that the cordiality of the prophet's kinship (peace be upon them) is the duty of every Muslim, male or a female, according to God's saying "You have an ideal example of God's Messenger". This love is an inseparable part of cordiality of the prophet (God's prayer and peace be upon him) and of Ameer Al-Muamineen and Al-Zahraa. Our last prayer; praise be to Allah the god of the world, and God's prayer and peace be upon Mohammed the master of the prophets and his good and virtuous family.
