Hazrat Salman Farsi — Page 34
I love my master, Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. When he heard about this deal, he told all the companions to help me gain my freedom. Each companion gave me date seeds to plant. We dug the holes together, and when we had dug three hundred, we told the Prophet $as. He came personally, and while the companions. handed him the seeds, he placed each one into the holes with his own hands. I promise that over time, all these seeds flourished into trees, and every single one grew strong. In this way, I gained freedom from slavery and came into the complete service of my master, Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Finally, what I had dreamed of when I was younger, came true. My whole journey felt very short. 34
