Salman al-Farisi of Esfahan in Iran (may Allah be pleased with him) left his home, and forsook his kith and kin in search of truth, and travelled far and wide for its sake. His journey ultimately ended in Madinah, where he met the Prophet and became his sahabi. The vivid account of his eventful life which is both interesting and instructive makes an excellent reading for the non-native students of the Arabic Language. Those who have completed the Madinah Arabic Course can easily follow this hadith.
