Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَاصَرَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَصْرًا مِنْ قُصُورِ فَارِسَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَلَا تَنْهَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ؟ قَالَ: لَا، حَتَّى أَدْعُوَهُمْ كَمَا كَانَ يَدْعُوهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَالَ: " أَنَا رَجُلٌ فَارِسِيٌّ وَأَنَا مِنْكُمْ، وَالْعَرَبُ يُطِيعُونِي، فَاخْتَارُوا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ تُسْلِمُوا، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَأَنْتُمْ صَاغِرُونَ غَيْرُ مَحْمُودِينَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ نُنَابِذَكُمْ فَنُقَاتِلَكُمْ "، قَالُوا: لَا نُسْلِمُ، وَلَا نُعْطِي الْجِزْيَةَ، وَلَكِنَّنَا نُنَابِذُكُمْ، فَرَجَعَ سَلْمَانُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالُوا: أَلَا تَنْهَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: " فَدَعَاهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوا، فَقَاتَلَهُمْ فَفَتَحَهَا " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that when he reached near a city, he said to his companions, "Leave me so that I may present the invitation to them in the same manner as I saw the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) inviting." Then he said to the people of the city, "I was one of you; Allah has guided me to Islam. If you also accept Islam, you will have the same rights as we have. If you refuse, then pay the jizya, and in that case, you will be humbled. If you refuse even that, then we will respond to you equally. Surely, Allah does not like those who are treacherous." He continued in this way for three days, and when the fourth day came, he advanced towards the city with the people and conquered it.
