In Returning Peace

ʿAbdullāh b. Maslamah > Sulaymān > Ibn al-Mughīrah > Ḥumayd b. Hilāl > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ṣāmit > Abū Dhar

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prayed, and I came to him after he finished his prayer. I was the first to greet him with the greeting of Islam. He said, "Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you. Who are you?" I said, "I am from the tribe of Ghifar." He took hold of my hand and I thought to myself that I disliked being affiliated with Ghifar. – Sound Chain

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ حِينَ قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ حَيَّا بِتَحِيَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ مِنْ غِفَارٍ قَالَ فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي كَرِهَ أَنِّي انْتَمَيْتُ إِلَى غِفَارٍ – إسناده صحيح
