He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Khalid al-Maraghi reported to me from al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad al-Dallal, who reported from Ismail ibn Muhammad al-Muzni, who reported from Uthman ibn Sa'id, who reported from ‘Ali ibn Ghurab, from Musa ibn Qais al-Hadhrami, from Salama ibn Kuhail, from Ayadh ibn Ayadh, from his father, who said: Once ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) passed by a group of people among whom was Salman, may Allah bless him with mercy.
