كتاب السلامBook of Greeting (Salam)
بَابُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرُدَّ السَّلامَChapter: One who does not reply to Salam
Hadith 1039
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: إِنَّ السَّلاَمَ اسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اللهِ، وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الأَرْضِ، فَأَفْشُوهُ بَيْنَكُمْ، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَضْلُ دَرَجَةٍ، لأَنَّهُ ذَكَّرَهُمُ السَّلاَمَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ وَأَطْيَبُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: “«السلام» is one of the names of Allah, which Allah has placed on the earth, so spread it among yourselves. Indeed, when a man greets a people with salam, and they reply to him, then the one who greeted has a superiority of one degree, because he reminded them of salam. And if he does not receive a reply, then he receives a reply from a better and purer creation than them.”
