The Companion Salmān Fārsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
and a talented scholar. He raised the flag of Islam and was a distinguished Companion of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Eventually he went to a certain hermit, who in his final moments revealed to him, “Son! According to my knowledge, there is no hermit on earth that is now following correct religious teachings. Soon Allah Almighty will send His final Prophet, go to him and stay in his company.”
The monk told him about the city of Madinah and some signs with which he could identify the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
