From the Persian -born researcher to the truth to a companion close to the Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace), Salman Al -Farisiyah left a sign of the Islamic history that is still echo today. His wonderful military vision was transformed during the battle of the trench in favor of Islam and gained an honorable place between the Prophet’s family.
Salman Al -Farisi was a famous and brief figure in early Islam and one of the respectable companions of the Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace). Although it is of Persian origin, it has achieved a high position between the Arabs and Muslims in the Hijaz. The Prophet himself said about him: “Salman is one of us, and he is a member of the people of the house.”
During the battle of the trench, it was Salman who suggested digging a defensive trench around Medina to prevent enemy forces – an unfamiliar strategy for the Arabs at the time. Before the Prophet, his advice, and this tactic became the key to the victory of Muslims in that battle.
Salman was also a loyal supporter of Ali bin Abi Talib (AS), the first Shiite imam, who believed heavily that he was the legal and immediate successor of the Prophet. During the succession of Omar Bin Al -Khatab, Salman occupied as a ruler of Citvon (Madden), where he died in the end and was buried. Historical novels differ from his Persian name and delicate position, but it was widely believed to have been from Ramhour or Jay, near two conversions at the present time.
Salman’s role in the battle of the trench
In the fifth year that followed the immigration, an alliance of hostile forces began to be formed against the young Islamic state. A group of Jewish leaders traveled to Mecca to photograph an alliance with Quraysh, the Gatevan tribe and other pagan forces. Their plan was to crush Islam completely: he would attack Quraish and Gatevan Medina from abroad, while Banu Qaraisa, who resides inside the city, would strike Muslims from behind.
In the face of this wrong threat, Salman drew from his knowledge of the Persian war and offered an unprecedented solution: to dig a trench around the vulnerable and open areas in Medina. This strategy not only protected the city, but also thwarted the attack on the coordinated enemy, ensuring the survival and victory of the Muslim nation.
Salman’s death
Salman Al -Farisi eventually died in the city of Citvon (Maden) in 35 ah, during the last year of Othman bin Annan’s rule, although some accounts put his death at the beginning of 36 Ah. Some historians record the date of his death on the eight of the travel trips.
