6- وَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْرُوقٍ النَّهْدِيُّ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَ كَانَ آخِرُ مَنْ أَتَى آبِيَ فَمَكَثَ عِنْدَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص قَالَ آبِي يَا سَلْمَانُ إِنَّ صَاحِبَكَ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُهُ بِمَكَّةَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ سَلْمَانُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ.
And narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan رضي الله عنه: narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Haitham Ibne Abi Masrooq Nahdi and Muhammad bin Abdul Jabbar from Ismail bin Sahal from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Durust bin Abi Mansur Wasiti and others from Abi Abdullah عليه السلام that he said:
“Salman Farsi رضي الله عنه went to many scholars in search of truth. At last he came to Aabi and he remained with him till Allah wanted. When the appearance of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم took place Aabi said: O Salman, the one you are searching for has appeared in Mecca. So Salman رضي الله عنه went out towards him.”
