Chapter: Greeting when leaving a gathering
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1008 — Greeting when leaving a gathering
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلاَنَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”إِذَا جَاءَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَجْلِسَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ، فَإِنْ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَقُومَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَ الْمَجْلِسُ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ، فَإِنَّ الأُولَى لَيْسَتْ بِأَحَقَّ مِنَ الأخْرَى.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any of you comes to a gathering, he should greet with salam. If he sits down and then has to get up and leave before the gathering disperses, he should greet with salam, for the first salam is not more important than the second."

Benefits and Issues:
When a person comes to a gathering and then quickly gets up and leaves, it can cause concern among the people present, as they may wonder why this person came and then silently left. For this reason, it is commanded to offer greetings (salam) both upon entering and leaving.
