3933. Abū Hurairah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when Sūrat Al-Jumu'ah was revealed, so he recited it until he reached: 'And others among them who have not yet joined them.'[1] A man said to him: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Who are these people who have not yet joined us?' But he did not say anything to him." He said: "Salmān Al-Fārīsī was among us." He said: "So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ placed his hand upon Salmān and said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! If faith were on Pleiades then men among these people would reach it.'"[2] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan, and it has been reported through other routes from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. [And Abul-Ghaith's name is Sālim, the Mawlā of 'Abdullāh bin Muṭī' and he is from Al-Madinah].

Commentary
The people of Fāras (Persia), who are non-Arabs, took pains in the promotion and expansion of Islam, and served the religion by writing exegesis and explanations of the Qur'an and Hadīth. They also wrote rebuttals of the charges placed against Islam. They defended the religion with intellect and power.
