[Machine] I have not done a deed that is more frightening to me than the possibility of being admitted to the Fire because of what Ammar did. So we said, "O Abu Sulaiman, what did he do?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me with a group of his companions to a village in the Arabian Peninsula, and I encountered them. Among them were Muslim families. Ammar spoke to me about some of his companions and said, 'Send them.' I said, 'No, not until I bring them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If he wishes, he will send them, and if he wishes, he will deal with them as he pleases.' So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Ammar sought permission to enter and he was granted. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, did you not see what Khalid did? He did such and such.' Khalid said, 'By Allah, if it were not for your meeting, Ibn Sumayyah would not have insulted me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Leave, O Ammar.' So he left while he was crying. He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not support me against Khalid.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Did you not answer the man?' So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I did not respond to him except because of his insignificance.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever belittles Ammar, Allah will belittle him, and whoever insults Ammar, Allah will insult him, and whoever humiliates Ammar, Allah will humiliate him.' So I left and followed him and spoke to him until he sought forgiveness for me."  

مَا عَمِلْتُ عَمَلًا أَخْوَفَ عِنْدِي عَلَى أَنْ يُدْخِلَنِي النَّارَ مِنْ شَأْنِ عَمَّارٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَأَصَبْتُهُمْ وَفِيهِمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مُسْلِمَيْنَ فَكَلَّمَنِي عَمَّارٌ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَرْسِلْهُمْ فَقُلْتُ لَا حَتَّى آتِي بِهِمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ صَنَعَ بِهِمْ مَا أَرَادَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَمَّارٌ فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى خَالِدٍ فَعَلَ وَفَعَلَ فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ أَمْ وَاللهِ فَلَوْلَا مَجْلِسُكَ مَا سَبَّنِي ابْنُ سُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اخْرُجْ يَا عَمَّارُ» فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ مَا نَصَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى خَالِدٍ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَجَبْتَ الرَّجُلَ؟» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَحْقَرَتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَحْقِرُ عَمَّارًا يَحْقِرُهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسُبُّ عَمَّارًا يَسُبَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَنْتَقِصُ عَمَّارًا يَنْتَقِصُهُ اللهُ» فَخَرَجْتُ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي  

[Machine] "For the Jewish scholars, I am a visitor to the mosque of our father Ibrahim and Ismail, making a covenant. I went to the messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Makkah, and I met him when he had just finished performing Hajj. The messenger of Allah ﷺ found me in Mina with the people, and I stood among them. When the messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at me, he said, 'Are you Abdullah ibn Salam?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Come closer.' So, I approached him. He asked, 'By Allah, I ask you, O Abdullah ibn Salam, do you find me in the Torah as the messenger of Allah?' I said, 'Our Lord, describe him.' He said, 'Then Jibril came to him until he stood in front of the messenger of Allah ﷺ, then he recited to him, "Say: He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent."' Then the messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it to us. Ibn Salam said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the messenger of Allah.' Then he went to Madinah and kept his Islam hidden. When the messenger of Allah ﷺ migrated to Madinah, I was on top of a palm tree, and I heard a noise in the city. I said, 'What is this?' They said, 'It is the messenger of Allah who has arrived.' So, I threw myself down from the top of the palm tree and then I approached him and greeted him. Then I went back, and my mother said, 'By Allah, if Musa ibn Imran (Moses) was here, he would not have thrown himself down from the top of the palm tree like that.' I said, 'By Allah, I went down because I am eager for the arrival of the messenger of Allah ﷺ, just as Musa ibn Imran was sent.'"

"عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الوَلِيدِ قَالَ: مَا عَمِلْتُ عَمَلًا أَخْوَفَ عِنْدِى أَنْ يُدْخِلَنِى النَّارَ مِنْ شَأنِ عَمَّارٍ، قِيلَ: وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: بَعَثَنِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فِى أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إلى حَىٍّ مِن العَرَبِ فَأَصَبْتُهُمْ وَفِيهِمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مُسْلِمُونَ، فَكَلَّمنِى عَمَّارٌ فِى أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ: أَرْسِلْهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا، حَتَّى آتِى بِهِم رسولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإنْ شَاءَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ صَنَعَ فِيهِمْ مَا أَرَادَ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَأذَنَ عَمَّارٌ فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! أَلَمْ تَرَ إلى خَالِدٍ فَعَلَ وفَعَلَ؟ ! فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْلَا مَجْلِسُكَ مَا سبَّنِى ابنُ سُمَيَّةَ، فَقَالَ رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ : اخْرُجْ يَا عمَّارُ، فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ يَبْكِى، فَقَالَ: مَا نَصَرنِى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى خَالِدٍ، فَقَالَ لِىَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : أَلَا أَجَبْتَ الرَّجُلَ؟ فَقُلتُ: يا رسولَ اللهِ! مَا مَنَعَنِى مِنْهُ إلَّا تَحَقُّرٌ لَهُ، فَقَالَ رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَحْقِرْ عَمَّارًا يَحْقِرْهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسُبَّ عَمَّارًا يَسُبَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضْ عَمَّارًا يُبْغِضْهُ اللهُ. فَخَرَجْتُ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ".
