حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، عَنْ شَهْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَسْمَاءَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَعُصْبَةٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قُعُودٌ، قَالَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْهِنَّ بِالسَّلاَمِ، فَقَالَ: ”إِيَّاكُنَّ وَكُفْرَانَ الْمُنْعِمِينَ، إِيَّاكُنَّ وَكُفْرَانَ الْمُنْعِمِينَ“، قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ: نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ، يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، مِنْ كُفْرَانِ نِعَمِ اللهِ، قَالَ: ”بَلَى إِنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَطُولُ أَيْمَتُهَا، ثُمَّ تَغْضَبُ الْغَضْبَةَ فَتَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ سَاعَةً خَيْرًا قَطُّ، فَذَلِكَ كُفْرَانُ نِعَمِ اللهِ، وَذَلِكَ كُفْرَانُ نِعَمِ الْمُنْعِمِينَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by the mosque where a group of women was sitting. The Prophet (peace be upon him) greeted them with a gesture of his hand and said: "Beware of being ungrateful to those who do good to you, do not be ungrateful to those who do good to you." One of them said: O Messenger of Allah! We seek Allah's refuge from being ungrateful for Allah's blessings. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, you do so. When the period of being unmarried is prolonged for any of you (and then she gets married), and she becomes angry with her husband, she says: By Allah! I have never seen any good from him, not even for a moment. This is being ungrateful for Allah's blessings, and this is being ungrateful to those who do good to you."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah states that the mention of the gesture of the hand is not authentic; the rest of the narration is authentic. (Jilbab al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 192, 194, al-Sahihah, Hadith: 823)
From this it is understood that men may also greet women with salam, but the condition that there is no fear of temptation (fitnah) will remain applicable in both cases.
