The Etiquette of Offering Greetings

باب آداب السلام

Riyad as-Saliheen, Book of Greetings(view book)

Abu Umamah Sudaiy bin `Ajlan Al-Bahili (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The person nearest to Allah is one who is the first to offer greeting."

[Abu Dawud].

The narration in At-Tirmidhi is: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! When two persons meet, who should greet the other first?'' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The person nearest to Allah (i.e., one who is more obedient and therefore closer to Allah will say: As-Salam first."

وعن أبي أمامة صُدي بن عجلان الباهلي رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: “إن أولى الناس بالله من بدأهم بالسلام" ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد جيد)). ورواه الترمذي عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه: قيل: يا رسول الله، الرجلان يلتقيان، أيهما يبدأ بالسلام؟ قال: "أولاهما بالله تعالى" قال الترمذي : حديث حسن.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported in the Hadith in respect of the person who was at fault in performing his Salat (prayer):
He came to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him. The Prophet ﷺ responded to the greeting and said, "Go back and repeat your Salat because you have not performed the Salat (properly).'' He again performed Salat as he had prayed before and came to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him. The Prophet ﷺ responded to the greetings (and repeated his words to him). This act of repeating (the Salat and the Salam) was done thrice.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه في حديث المسيء صلاته أنه جاء فصلى، ثم جاء النبي ﷺ، فسلم عليه، فرد عليه السلام، فقال: "ارجع فصلِ، فإنك لم تصلِ" فرجع فصلى، ثم جاء فسلم على النبي ﷺ، حتى فعل ذلك ثلاث مرات” ((متفق عليه))
