We were sitting in the company of Allah's Apostle ﷺ that Sura al-Jumu'a was revealed to him and when he recited (these words):" Others from amongst them who have not yet joined them," a person amongst them (those who were sitting there) said: Messenger of Allah! But Allah's Apostle ﷺ made no reply, until he questioned him once, twice or thrice. And there was amongst us Salman the Persian. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on Salman and then said: Even if faith were near the Pleiades, a man from amongst these would surely find it. (Using translation from Muslim 2546b)

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ {وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ} [الجمعة 3] قَالَ «مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَلَمْ يُرَاجِعْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى سَأَلَهُ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا» قَالَ وَفِينَا سَلْمَانُ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ الْإِيمَانُ عِنْدَ الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ»

While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ Surat Al-Jumu'a was revealed to him, and when the Verse, "And He (Allah) has sent him (Muhammad) also to other (Muslims).....' (62.3) was recited by the Prophet, I said, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ did not reply till I repeated my question thrice. At that time, Salman Al-Farisi was with us. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand on Salman, saying, "If Faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiya (pleiades, the highest star), even then (some men or man from these people (i.e. Salman's folk) would attain it."

“We were with the Messenger of Allah when Surat Al-Jumuah was revealed, so he recited it until he reached: And other among them who have not yet joined them, A man said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Who are these people who have not yet joined us?’ But he did not say anything to him.” He said: “Salman [Al-Farsi] was among us.” He said: “So the Messenger of Allah placed his hand upon Salman and said: ‘By the One in whose Hand is my soul! If faith were on Pleiades then men among these people would reach it.”’
