Narrated Abu AlBakhtari: An Army from the armies of the Muslims; whose commander was Salman AlFarisi; besieged one of the Persian castles. They said: O Abu Abdullah! Should we charge them? He said: Leave me to call them to Islam as I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ call them. So Salman went to them and said: I am only a man from among you; a Persian; and you see that the Arabs obey me. If you become Muslims then you will have the likes of what we have; and from you will be required that which is required from us. If you refuse; and keep your religion; then we will leave you to it; and you will give us the Jizyah from your hands while you are submissive. He said to them in Persian: And you are other than praiseworthy and if you refuse then we will equally resist you. They said: We will not give you the Jizyah; we will fight you instead. So they said: O Abu Abdullah! Should we charge them? He said: No. He said: So for three days he called them to the same things ; and then he said: Charge them. He said: So we charged them; and we conquered the castle.
