The Prophet ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu al-Darda. Salman paid a visit to Abu al-Darda and found Umm al-Darda dressed in shabby clothes and asked: "What's the matter?" She replied, "Your brother, Abu al-Darda is not interested in the luxuries of this world."

In the meantime Abu al-Darda came and prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to him, "˹You go ahead and˺ eat for I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going to eat, unless you eat." So Abu al-Darda ate. When it was nighttime, Abu ad-Darda got up ˹for the night prayer˺. Salman told him, "Sleep," and he slept. Again Abu  al-Darda got up ˹for the prayer˺, and Salman said, "Sleep." When it was the last part of the night, Salman said to him, "Get up now." So both of them offered their prayers. 

Salman said to Abu al-Darda, "Your Lord has a right on you, and your body has a right on you, and your family has a right on you. So you should give the rights of all those who have a right on you. Later on Abu al-Darda visited the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that ˹incident˺ to him. The Prophet, said, "Salman has spoken the truth."

آخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَزَارَ سَلْمَانُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَرَأَى أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ مُتَبَذِّلَةً، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا شَأْنُكِ؟» قَالَتْ: أَخُوكَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا. 

فَجَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا، فَقَالَ: كُلْ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ، قَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِآكِلٍ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَ فَأَكَلَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ ذَهَبَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُومُ، فَقَالَ: نَمْ فَنَامَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَقُومُ، فَقَالَ: نَمْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ آخِرُ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ سَلْمَانُ: قُمِ الْآنَ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّيَا، 

فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ: إِنَّ لِرَبِّكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَلِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَلِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، فَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «صَدَقَ سَلْمَانُ»

The Prophet ﷺ made a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Ad-Darda.' Salman paid a visit to Abu Ad-Darda' and found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in that state. She replied, "Your brother Abu Ad-Darda' is not interested in (the luxuries of) this world." In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda' came and prepared a meal for Salman. Salman requested Abu Ad- Darda' to eat (with him), but Abu Ad-Darda' said, "I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going to eat unless you eat." So, Abu Ad-Darda' ate (with Salman). When it was night and (a part of the night passed), Abu Ad-Darda' got up (to offer the night prayer), but Salman told him to sleep and Abu Ad- Darda' slept. After sometime Abu Ad-Darda' again got up but Salman told him to sleep. When it was the last hours of the night, Salman told him to get up then, and both of them offered the prayer. Salman told Abu Ad-Darda', "Your Lord has a right on you, your soul has a right on you, and your family has a right on you; so you should give the rights of all those who has a right on you." Abu Ad- Darda' came to the Prophet ﷺ and narrated the whole story. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Salman has spoken the truth."

آخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَزَارَ سَلْمَانُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَرَأَى أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ مُتَبَذِّلَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا شَأْنُكِ قَالَتْ أَخُوكَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَجَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا فَقَالَ كُلْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ قَالَ مَا أَنَا بِآكِلٍ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَ قَالَ فَأَكَلَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ ذَهَبَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُومُ قَالَ نَمْ فَنَامَ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَقُومُ فَقَالَ نَمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ قُمِ الآنَ فَصَلَّيَا فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ إِنَّ لِرَبِّكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَلِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَلأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا فَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَدَقَ سَلْمَانُ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Ad-Darda. Salman went to visit Abu Ad-Darda, and saw Umm Ad-Darda wearing shabby clothes, So he said: 'Why are you wearing such shabby clothes?' She said: 'Your brother Abu Ad-Darda has no interest in the world.' So when Abu Ad-Darda arrived, he prepared some food for him (Salman) and said: 'Eat, for I am fasting.' He said: 'I shall not eat until you eat.'" He said: "So he ate. When night came Abu Ad-Darda started to leave and stand (in prayer), but Salman said to him: 'Sleep.' So he slept.

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Darda. Salman visited Abu Darda and found Umm Darda in a bad state. Salman asked her: 'What is the matter with you?' She replied: 'Your brother (meaning Abu Darda) has no need in this world.' When Abu Darda returned, he welcomed Salman and presented food to him. Salman said: 'Eat.' Abu Darda said: 'I am fasting.' Salman said: 'I will not eat until you eat.' So, Abu Darda ate with him. Then when it was night, Abu Darda got up to offer the prayer, and Salman detained him. When the morning arrived, Abu Darda said: 'Stand up now.' Salman got up and they prayed together. When the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed Subh (morning prayer), he came to him and informed him of what Salman had said. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'He has spoken the truth.'"

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ آخَى بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ وَأَبَى الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ سَلْمَانُ يَزُورُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَرَأَى أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ مُتَبَتِّلَةً فقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رَحَّبَ بِهِ سَلْمَانُ وَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ اطْعَمْ قَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ قَالَ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا طَعِمْتَ فَإِنِّي مَا أَنَا بِآكِلٍ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَ قَالَ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ وَبَاتَ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَامَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَبَسَهُ سَلْمَانُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنَّ لِرَبِّكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَلِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَلِجَسَدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا أَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ صُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَقُمْ وَنَمْ وَائْتِ أَهْلَكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ قُمِ الْآنَ فَقَامَا فَصَلَّيَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَالَ سَلْمَانُ فقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ سَلْمَانُ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came between Salman and Abu Darda, so Salman came to visit Abu Darda. He found Umm Darda wearing tattered clothes, so he said, "What is the matter with you, Umm Darda?" She said, "Your brother, Abu Darda, spends the night in prayer and fasts during the day, and he has no need for anything in this world." Abu Darda then came and welcomed Salman, and he brought him some food. Salman said to him, "Eat." Abu Darda said, "I am fasting." Salman said, "I swear to you that you will break your fast," and he refused to eat unless he ate with him. So they ate together, and then Salman stayed with him. When it was night, Abu Darda wanted to stand for prayer, but Salman prevented him. Then he said, "O Abu Darda, your body has a right over you, your Lord has a right over you, and your family has a right over you. Give to each their due right." When it was dawn, he said, "Now you can stand if you wish." They both got up, performed ablution, prayed, and then went for prayer. Abu Darda approached to inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What Salman said is true, your body has a right over you."

آخَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَجَاءَ سَلْمَانُ يَزُورُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَإِذَا أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ مُبْتَذَلَةٌ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكِ يَا أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَيَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فَجَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَرَحَّبَ بِسَلْمَانَ وَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ أَطْعِمْ قَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ قَالَ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَتُفْطِرَنَّ فَأَبَى يَأْكُلُ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ مَعَهُ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ بَاتَ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَرَادَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَمَنَعَهُ سَلْمَانُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنَّ لِجَسَدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَلِرَبِّكَ حَقًّا وَلِأَهْلِكَ حَقًّا أَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ قُمُ الْآنَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَقَامَا فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَدَنَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لِيُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِجَسَدِكَ حَقًّا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ سَلْمَانُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ befriended Salman and Abu Darda. Salman came to visit Abu Darda, and he found Umm Darda dressed in shabby clothes. He asked her, "What is wrong, O Umm Darda?" She replied, "Your brother Abu Darda stays up at night and fasts during the day, and he has no need for anything in this world." Abu Darda then came and welcomed Salman and brought him food. Salman said to him, "Eat," but Abu Darda replied, "I am fasting." Salman said, "I swear to you that I will not eat until you eat." So Abu Darda ate with him and then spent the night with him. When it was night time and Abu Darda wanted to get up, Salman stopped him and said, "O Abu Darda, your body has rights over you, your Lord has rights over you, and your family has rights over you. So fast and break your fast, pray and sleep with your family, and give everyone their rights." When it was dawn, Salman said, "Now you can get up if you wish." They both got up, performed ablution, prayed, and then went to the mosque. Abu Darda wanted to inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what Salman had advised him, so he told him about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Abu Darda, your body has rights over you just as Salman has told you."
