It is related by Hazrat Abu Hurairah (peace be on him) that we were sitting with the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) when Surah Jumuah was revealed to him. When he recited the verse And among others from among them who have not yet joined them, a man asked, O Messenger of Allah, who are these people (who will hold the rank of the companions of the Prophet and have not yet joined them). But Huzur did not answer him. The man repeated his question three times. The narrator says that Hazrat Salman Farsi was sitting amongst us. The Holy Prophet put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Even if the Eeman will ascend to the Pleiades, men from among his people will bring it back to earth. (This means that Aakhireen means sons of Faris among whom the Promised Messiah will appear and those who will believe in him will get the rank of Sahaba.)
