The Companions joined Salman in the preparation of the ground and
together they dug the holes.
As soon as the work was finished they told the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa
salaam) so he returned with them to the grove and planted all the saplings,
and they all started to grow and produced dates.
Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi wa salaam) had been given a nugget
of gold -- about the size of a hen's egg -- and without a second thought gave
it to Salman telling him to buy his freedom with it. Salman was concerned
that the weight of the nugget would be insufficient and asked how much
more gold would be necessary to complete the agreement. The Prophet
(salla Allahu alihi wa salaam) supplicated to Allah, then took the nugget, put
it in his mouth, rolled his tongue around it, then gave it back to Salman
saying, "Take it, and pay the full price with it." When the nugget was
weighed, it weighed exactly forty ounces and Salman was released from
slavery.
When the Muslims migrated to Medina they hoped they might find peace
