بَابُ يُسَلِّمُ الْمَاشِي عَلَى الْقَاعِدِChapter: The walker greets the seated
Hadith 994
قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: الْمَاشِيَانِ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَا فَأَيُّهُمَا بَدَأَ بِالسَّلاَمِ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When two people walking meet together, the one who initiates the greeting of peace is superior.
