With whom was Salman al-Muhammadi paired in brotherhood?

Answer

In the name of Allah, it has been mentioned in the books of the Imami school that the brotherhood (Mu’akhāt) was between Salman and Abū Dharr, and also between Salman and al-Miqdād. Yes, it is stated in most books of the general (Sunni) scholars that the brotherhood was between Salman and Abū al-Dardā’, but this is unlikely, as it is known that Abū al-Dardā’ embraced Islam after the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) had already established brotherhood among his companions. Some later Shia scholars have reported the brotherhood between Salman and Abū al-Dardā’ from Sunni sources, but, as you can see, there is hesitation regarding its authenticity. Allah is All-Knowing.
