world.” In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda came and prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to
him, “(Please) eat for I am fasting.” Salman said, “I am not going to eat, unless you eat.” So Abu Ad-
Darda’ ate. When it was night, Abu Ad-Darda’ got up (for the night prayer). Salman said (to him),
“Sleep,” and he slept. Again Abu-Ad-Darda’ got up (for the prayer), and Salman said (to him), “Sleep.”
When it was the last part of the night, Salman said to him, “Get up now (for the prayer).” So both of
them offered their prayers and Salman said to Abu Ad-Darda’,”Your Lord has a right on you; and
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 have a right on you). Later on Abu Ad-Darda’ visited the Prophet and mentioned that to
him. The Prophet, said, “Salman has spoken the truth.”
