Hadith 1015

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا كِنَانَةُ مَوْلَى صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ أَبْخَلُ النَّاسِ مَنْ بَخِلَ بِالسَّلاَمِ، وَالْمَغْبُونُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرُدَّهُ، وَإِنْ حَالَتْ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيكَ شَجَرَةٌ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَبْدَأَهُ بِالسَّلامِ لَا يَبْدَأُكَ فَافْعَلْ‏.‏
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The greatest miser is the one who is miserly in greeting (salam), and the one who suffers loss is the one who does not reply to the greeting. If a tree comes between you and your brother, and you are able to initiate the greeting, then do so.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
The mentioned narration is weak due to the narrator of this chain, Kinanah. However, its first sentence is authentic as a marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and the last sentence is authentic both as marfu‘ and mawquf (attributed to a Companion). (Al-Sahihah of Al-Albani, no. 518)
