Hadith 6212
Abu Huraira said: When we were sitting with the Prophet sura al-Jum u'a[1] came down. Then when the words "and others of them who have not yet joined them"[2] came down, the people asked God's messenger who they were. Salman al-Farisi was among us, and placing his hand on Salman the Prophet said, "If faith were in the Pleiades some of these men would attain it." 1. Quran; 62 2. Verse 3 (Bukhari and Muslim.)
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يلْحقُوا بهم] قَالُوا: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: وَفِينَا سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَالَ: فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَوْ كَانَ الْإِيمَانُ عِنْدَ الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ رجالٌ من هَؤُلَاءِ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
