I want to know meaning for name Muhammad Saalif. I heard this is name of one Sahabi. Please confirm.

Muhammad is the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Salif means past, previous. However, I could find nowhere in any book that any sahabi was named after the name Salif or Muhammad Salif.
Allah knows Best!
