[edit] Ahura Mazda?
The original text here said that Salman at first worshipped "Fire". Elsewhere I've seen that he was described as a "Mazdaki". A worshipper of Ahura Mazda, the god of the Persian zoroastrians? --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:29, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Complete rewrite!
I rewrote the whole thing with more information and material. It is not in need of cleaning up now. Please don't revert the article, as I have corrected much of the text. Make improvements only. --Eric 12:14, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Al-Farsi
Why is he named "the Persian"? Should we rename "Muhammad al-Bukhari" to "Muhammad from Bukhara", or rename this back to "Salman al-Farsi"?--Striver 17:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shi'ite book Abu Hurayra?
Those Shi'ites completely reject Abu Huraira r.a.'s book! That is our hadith book. And they don't like Ayesha r.a. Umar99 18:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Someone needs to stop reverting it to include this segment, it is absolutely false. The Shi'a reject Abu Huraira r.a.
[edit] salman the persian
His name IN ENGLISH is Salman the Persian, most of the English texts I have read on him refer to him as such therefore it is not a “translation” of his name or a recent move, it is the way he was always referred to by most, if not all, English writers. Given that this is English Wikipedia it should reflect the English name. Either the title or the opening paragraph, if not both, should reflect this. For now I leave the title as what it is but change the intro. In my opinion the pages’ title should change as well but we can discuss this later.Gol 05:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree to move this page. I guess in the past it was salman the persian .--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 10:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
