The Messenger of Allah ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Darda. Salman once visited Abu Darda and found Umm Darda dressed in worn-out clothes.He asked her, "Why are you in such a state?"She replied, "Your brother Abu Darda has no interest in worldly matters."When Abu Darda arrived, he prepared food for Salman and said, "Eat, for I am fasting."Salman said, "I will not eat unless you eat."So Abu Darda ate. When night came, Abu Darda got up to pray, but Salman said to him, "Sleep," so he slept. Then he got up again to pray, and Salman said, "Sleep," so he slept. When it was near dawn, Salman said, "Get up now," and the two of them rose and prayed.Then Salman said, "Your soul has a right over you, your Lord has a right over you, your guest has a right over you, and your family has a right over you. So give each one who has a right his due."They went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned what had happened, and he said, "Salman has spoken the truth."
حدثنا محمد بن بشار حدثنا جعفر بن عون حدثنا أبو العميس
آخى رسول الله ﷺ بين سلمان وبين أبي الدرداء فزار سلمان أبا الدرداء فرأى أم الدرداء متبذلة فقال ما شأنك متبذلة قالت إن أخاك أبا الدرداء ليس له حاجة في الدنيا قال فلما جاء أبو الدرداء قرب إليه طعاما فقال كل فإني صائم قال ما أنا بآكل حتى تأكل قال فأكل فلما كان الليل ذهب أبو الدرداء ليقوم فقال له سلمان نم فنام ثم ذهب يقوم فقال له نم فنام فلما كان عند الصبح قال له سلمان قم الآن فقاما فصليا فقال إن لنفسك عليك حقا ولربك عليك حقا ولضيفك عليك حقا وإن لأهلك عليك حقا فأعط كل ذي حق حقه فأتيا النبي ﷺ فذكرا ذلك فقال له صدق سلمان
