[Machine] On Salman's Islam, he said, "When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, I made food and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ . He asked me, 'What is this, O Salman?' I said, 'It is charity.' So he said to his companions, 'Eat,' but he himself did not eat. Then I returned and gathered food and brought it to him again. He asked me, 'What is this, O Salman?' I said, 'It is a gift.' He struck his hand and ate, and said to his companions, 'Eat.'"
