4897. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, Sūrat Al-Jumu'ah was revealed to him, and when the Verse, “And [He (Allāh) has sent him (Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ) also to] others among them (Muslims) who have not yet joined them...” (V.62:3) was recited by the Prophet ﷺ, I said, “Who are they, O Allāh’s Messenger?” The Prophet ﷺ did not reply till I repeated my question thrice. At that time, Salmān Al-Fārīsī was with us. So Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ put his hand on Salmān, saying, “If Faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiyyā (pleiades, the highest star), even then (some men or man) from these people (i.e., Salmān’s folk) would have taken it.”
