Abdullah ibn Salam

Abdullah ibn Salam (d. 43 AH / 663 M) adalah seorang highly respected Jewish rabbi di Madinah sebelum Nabi ﷺ's emigration dan one dari most ilmu pengetahuanable para ulama dari Torah among Israelites dari masanya. His konversi ke Islam adalah one dari most significant religious transitions di sejarah Islam. When Nabi ﷺ first arrived di Madinah ( Hijra), Abdullah hurried ke see him. After his first look di Nabi ﷺ's face, he said: 'This face adalah tidak face dari liar.' He asked three questions — sekitar first sign dari Day dari Judgment, sekitar first meal people dari Paradise akan eat, dan sekitar what determines whether child resembles father atau mother. The Prophet answered all three correctly dan thoroughly. Abdullah ibn Salam declared his shahada immediately dan asked Nabi ﷺ ke keep his konversi secret temporarily so he dapat reveal truth ke Jewish komunitas di strategic way. He then went ke Jewish leaders dan told them yang he memiliki verified Nabi ﷺ dan yang they seharusnya embrace him. They praised Ibn Salam as their most learned ulama. He then revealed yang he himself memiliki hanya memeluk Islam — dan they immediately turned pada him, saying ia adalah worst dari them. The Nabi Muhammad ﷺ explicitly named him as one dari people dari Paradise — distinction accorded ke very few named individuals oleh Nabi ﷺ selama kehidupannyatime. Ia adalah mentioned di Al-Al-Qur' obliquely di Surah al-Ahqaf (46:10): 'And witness dari among Children dari Israel memiliki witnessed ke something similar dan believed.' He meriwayatkan many hadith dan wafat di Madinah.
