Overview
Salman ibn 'Amir ibn Aws ibn 'Amr ibn Hujr al-Dabbi was of Banu Dabba. Al-Hakim quotes Khalifa ibn Khayyat for his lineage back to Dabba, and for his settling in Basra, where he had a house by the congregational mosque and died in the caliphate of 'Uthman. Al-Dhahabi repeats this notice in the Talkhis. 1
His question about his father
Al-Hakim gives, with his chain, Salman ibn 'Amir's report that he came to the Prophet and said: "My father used to keep family ties, feed guests and keep his pledges, and he did not live to see Islam. Is there any reward for him in that?" The Prophet said no. When Salman turned to go, the Prophet called him back and told him that it would be in his descendants: they would never be humbled, never disgraced and never reduced to poverty. Al-Dhahabi left this hadith out of the Talkhis. 1
