Summary: Salman Al-Farsi is one of those legendary Sahabas about whom we have very little information about because he grew up in Iran. Therefore we have no information about him from any source other than what he himself told of his own life later on, and what he narrated to the Sahaba. <br> <br> One thing that really makes Salman intriguing is the very ironic and profound change that happened, that he grew up in the pinnacle of Persian power, seeing the glory of what is called the âSassanid Empireâ. He was a citizen and a member of this empire at a time when no one could ever have predicted that the empire would be destroyed and wiped out. Not only did he live to see that his own Persian Empire eradicated, but he was also part of the army that fought against it. They even destroyed the Sassanids and then appointed Salman as the Governor of the capital of the Persian Empire. <br>
