When he accepted Islam, he wanted to inform the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, of his high standing among the Jews. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, send for my people and ask them about me." So he summoned them and said: "Inform me about ‘Abd Allah ibn Salam." They replied: "He is our master and our most learned man." He said: "What do you think if he believes in me and accepts me as truthful? Will you then believe in me and accept me as truthful?" They replied: "He will not do that. He is too scholarly among us to abandon his religion and follow you." He said: "Come out, O ‘Abd Allah ibn Salam." So he came out and said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah." He pledged allegiance to him, so they turned against him and began to insult him, while he kept saying: "Peace be upon you; we desire not the ignorant."
