Abu Dahr hears of the arrival of the Prophet PBUH, and due to this lack of belief in the gods of his people and his belief that there is one God, he went to see the Prophet PBUH. He meets Ali, and after some reservation, tells Ali about his desire to meet the Prophet PBUH. After meeting the Prophet PBUH he embraces Islam, and is sent back to his people and keeps his conversion a secret until further instruction.
