Chapter: What has been narrated about one person responding on behalf of a group.
Sunan Abu Dawud 5210 — What has been narrated about one person
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجُدِّيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ , حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ , عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : رَفَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , قَالَ : " يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ إِذَا مَرُّوا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ أَحَدُهُمْ , وَيُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْجُلُوسِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ أَحَدُهُمْ " .
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Abu Dawud said: Al-Hasan ibn Ali traced this tradition back to the Prophet ﷺ: When people are passing by, it is enough if one of them gives a salutation on their behalf, and that it is enough for those who are sitting if one of them replies.
