[Machine] I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in saying, "The name of Abdullah ibn Salam al-Husayn was before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named him Abdullah."  

سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ اسْمُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ الْحُصَيْنَ «فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Salam was known as Abu Yusuf. His name before Islam was Husein. When he embraced Islam, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named him Abdullah. He was from the Banu Isra'il, from the descendants of Yusuf ibn Ya'qub, may peace be upon them. He was an ally of the Qawwalah tribe from the Banu Awf ibn Al-Khazraj. Abdullah ibn Salam passed away in Madinah in the year 43 AH during the caliphate of Muawiyah.  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ يُكَنَّى أَبَا يُوسُفَ وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ قَبْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ الْحُصَيْنَ فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ «سَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ» وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ وَلَدِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَيْهِمَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ وَحَلِيفُ لِلْقَوَاقِلَةِ مِنْ بَنِي عَوْفِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَتُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي أَقَاوِيلَ جَمِيعِهِمْ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ فِي خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ  

[Machine] The translation of the given text is: "Wala' ibn Abdullah ibn Salam was loyal to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he died in the year forty-three."  

«كَانَ وَلَاءُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَاتَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ»  

[Machine] About Dhahak's saying about Allah's statement: "And a witness from the Children of Israel testified to its like" [Surah Al-Ahqaf 10], he said, "The witness is Abdullah ibn Salam, and he was one of the virtuous scholars from the Children of Israel."  

عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ} [الأحقاف 10] قَالَ «الشَّاهِدُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْأَخْيَارِ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ»  

I was sitting in a circle in the mosque of Medina and there was an old man, quite handsome. He was 'Abdullah b. Salim. He was telling good things to them (to the people sitting in that company). As he stood up (to depart) the people said: He who is desirous of looking at a person from amongst the people of Paradise should see him. I said: By Allah, I will follow him, and would try to know his residence. So I followed him and he walked on until he reached the outskirts of Medina. He then entered his house. I sought permission from him to get in, and he granted me the permission, saying: My nephew, what is the need (that has brought you here)? I said to him: As you stood up, I heard people say about you: He who is desirous of seeing a person from among the people of Paradise should look at him. So I became desirous of accompanying you. He ('Abdullah b. Salim) said: It is Allah Who knows best about the people of Paradise. I would, however, narrate to you as to why they said like it. (The story is) that while I was asleep (one night) there came to me a person (in the dream) who asked me to stand up. (So I stood up) and he caught hold of my hand and I walked along with him, and, lo, I found some paths on my left and I was about to set out upon them. Thereupon he said to me Do not set yourself on (them) for these are the paths of the leftists (denizens of Hell-fire). Then there were paths leading to the right side, whereupon he said: Set yourself on these paths. We came across a hill and he said to me: Climb up, and I attempted to climb up that I fell upon my buttocks. I made several attempts (but failed to succeed). He led until he came to a pillar (so high) that its upper end touched the sky and its base was in the earth. And there was a handhold at its upper end. He said to me Climb over it. I said: How can I climb upon it, as its upper end touches the sky? He cought hold of my hand and pushed me up and I found myself suspended with the handhold. He then struck the pillar and it fell down, but I remained attached to that handhold until it was morning (and the dream was thus over). I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and narrated it to him. He said: So far as the paths which you saw on your left are concerned, these are paths of the leftists (denizens of Hell) and the paths which you saw on your right, these are the paths of the rightists (the dwellers of Paradise) and the mountain represents the destination of the martyrs which you would not be able to attain. The pillar implies the pillar of Islam. and so far as the handhold is concerned, it implies the handhold of Islam, and you would hold to it fastly until you would meet death. (Using translation from Muslim 2484c)   

فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ الْقَوْمُ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَتَّبِعَنَّهُ فَلَأَعْلَمَنَّ مَكَانَ بَيْتِهِ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي؟ قُلْتُ لَهُ سَمِعْتُ الْقَوْمَ يَقُولُونَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَعْجَبَنِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ مِمَّا قَالُوا قَالُوا ذَلِكَ إِنِّي بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ إِذْ أَتَانِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لِي قُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَوَادٍ عَنْ شِمَالِي فَأَخَذْتُ لِآخُذَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لِي لَا تَأْخُذْ فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا طَرِيقُ أَهْلِ الشِّمَالِ فَإِذَا جَوَادٌ مُنْهَجٌ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَقَالَ لِي خُذْ هَا هُنَا فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَبَلٍ فَقَالَ لِي اصْعَدْ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْعَدَ خَرَرْتُ عَلَى إِسْتِي قَالَ حَتَّى فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا قَالَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى بِي عَمُودًا رَأْسُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَأَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فِي أَعْلَاهُ حَلْقَةٌ فَقَالَ لِي اصْعَدْ فَوْقَ هَذَا قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْعَدُ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَزَجَلَ بِي فَإِذَا أَنَا مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِالْحَلْقَةِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَمَا الطَّرِيقُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَهِيَ طَرِيقُ أَهْلِ الشِّمَالِ وَأَمَّا الطَّرِيقُ الَّتِي عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَهِيَ طَرِيقُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ وَأَمَّا الْعُرْوَةُ فَهِيَ عُرْوَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَنْ تَزَالَ مُتَمَسِّكًا بِهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet (pbuh) and I entered a Jewish synagogue. He said, "O people of Jews, show me twelve men who bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and Allah will remove the anger from any Jew that they are beneath the sky." None of them responded to him, so he said, "Have you denied? By Allah, I am the last, the final, and the chosen Prophet. Have you believed in me, or have you rejected me?" Then we left, and as we were about to exit, a man from behind us said, "O Muhammad, just as you are, how do I know you, O people of Jews?" They replied, "By Allah, we do not know of anyone among us who is more knowledgeable of the Book of Allah than you, nor do we know of anyone who understands it better than you, your father before you, or your grandfather before your father." He said, "Indeed, I bear witness for him with Allah that he is the Prophet of Allah whom you find mentioned in the Torah." They said, "You have lied!" Then they accused him of evil. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "You have lied, and your word will not be accepted. If you praise him when he deserves it, and then deny him when he believes, your word will not be accepted." Then we left, and there were three of us; the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), Abdullah ibn Salam, and myself. Allah revealed in reference to this incident, "Say, 'Have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieved in it?" [Surah Al-Ahqaf: 10]. This hadith is recorded in the collections of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, based on the conditions of both scholars, and they did not exclude it. It is agreed upon that it is a summarized narration from Anas, and Abdullah ibn Salam was mentioned briefly.  

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا كَنِيسَةَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أَرُونِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَحُطُّ اللَّهُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَهُودِيٍّ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الْغَضَبَ الَّذِي غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ فَأُسْكِتُوا مَا أَجَابَهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ «أَبَيْتُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ وَأَنَا الْعَاقِبُ وَأَنَا النَّبِيُّ الْمُصْطَفَى آمَنْتُمْ أَوْ كَذَبْتُمْ» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى كِدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِنَا يَقُولُ كَمَا أَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ تَعْلِمُونِي فِيكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ؟ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْكَ وَلَا أَفْقَهُ مِنْكَ وَلَا مِنْ أَبِيكَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَا مِنْ جَدِّكَ قَبْلَ أَبِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ الَّذِي تَجِدُونَهُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فَقَالُوا كَذَبْتَ ثُمَّ رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ وَقَالُوا فِيهِ شَرًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَذَبْتُمْ لَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ أَمَّا آنِفًا فَتُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا أَثْنَيْتُمْ وَأَمَّا إِذَا آمَنَ فَكَذَّبْتُمُوهُ وَقُلْتُمْ فِيهِ مَا قُلْتُمْ فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ {قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ} [الأحقاف 10] الْآيَةَ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ إِنَّمَا اتَّفَقَا عَلَى حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ فِيكُمْ مُخْتَصَرًا» على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "He who has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise." This hadith is authentic in its chain of narration and has not been mentioned in relation to Abdullah ibn Salam.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ فِي ذِكْرِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ سالم بن إبراهيم واه  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Verily, he is one of the ten (people) in Paradise." The chain of narration is authentic, and it has not been excluded from being authentic.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشْرَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with a bowl, so he ate from it and then took out a piece and said, "A man from this valley, from the people of Paradise, will come and eat this." Sa'd said, "I had left 'Umair, my brother, performing ablution, and I said, 'He is 'Umair.' Then 'Abdullah bin Salam came and ate it." This hadith has a authentic chain of narration and has not been rejected.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا فَفَضَلَ مِنْهَا فَضْلَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَجِيءُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَأْكُلُ هَذِهِ» قَالَ سَعْدٌ وَكُنْتُ تَرَكْتُ عُمَيْرًا أَخِي يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ عُمَيْرٌ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ فَأَكَلَهَا «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» صحيح
