Salamah Ibn Dinar al-Madani (died c. 757 or 781), also known as Abu Hazim Al-A'raj, was Muslim ascetic, jurist and narrator of hadith from the taba'een generation who became an important figure for the early Sufis.
He is often mentioned in works dealing with spirituality and the Islamic practice of zuhd, or rejection of material comforts to pursue personal contemplation and meditation.
Many of Salamah ibn Dinar's words of wisdom and advice for spiritual development have been recorded and contemplated by later generations of Muslims.
For example, he is recorded as saying: Ahmed, Abū Hātam, al-'Ajali and, al-Nisā'i regarded him as trustworthy.
'"[5] Shaykh al-Tūsi numbered him as one of the companions of the fourth Shia Imam, Zayn al-'Ābidin.
