Abstract
Today's world is witnessing a life based on specialization. However, if the lives of previous gene-rations are examined carefully, it would be seen that people carried diverse qualities. The first generation that had been taught by the Prophet and their followers carried out very different activities in line with religious orders. Salmān b. Rabīʻa life is also a good example in this context. Because he did not restrict himself to a limited way of life, and he acted as a jurist, a commander, and a scholar whenever required. Salmān b. Rabīʻa, who served as a judge, was also busy with the narration of hadīths, and his life ended on the battlefield. However, as a result an understanding of history that deals with war-centered events, Salmān b. Rabīʻa did not get enough attention he deserved in the historical researches. In this article, Muslim life based on Islamic teachings is discussed with specific attention to Salmān b. Rabīʻa. Thus, it is aimed to reveal the other aspects of his life. Because this important personality, who has contributed to many areas of life, draws attention to many behaviors that will set an example for today's people.
