And O cubs of the Lion of Religion,
The Chieftain of the divine Messages.
The "Lion of Religion" is Abu Shu'ayb, peace be upon him; he is Salsal, and he is the Day of Religion (Yawm al-Din). "Religion" itself is Muhammad, His glory is magnificent, and his "Day" is Salman. He is Gabriel, the sender down of the Books, the Tablets, the Gospel, the Quran, and the expounded Scrolls.
[41]Through the chain of transmission on the authority of Abu al-Husayn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jilli, may God sanctify his soul, tracing the chain back to al-Husayn ibn Hamdan al-Khasibi, may God sanctify his soul, regarding his statement: "Indeed, the chicks of the Rooster of the Throne are the mature believers." It has also been said in another response: "They are the Five Orphans and the Two Vicegerents." The "Rooster" is Salman, peace be upon him, and the "Throne" is Muhammad, His glory is magnificent.
And his statement, may God sanctify his soul:
They are likened to a bird for them,
Pre-existent, among the pre-existent entities,
It is called the Pre-existence of Good Deeds,
[And the Gatekeeper] of the veils.
