Hadith 11199

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَتَى الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَصْنَعُونَ هَذَا قَالُوا هَذَا كَانَ تَحِيَّةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلَنَا فَقُلْتُ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَصْنَعَ هَذَا بِنَبِيِّنَا فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبْدَلَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that he went to the land of Sham (Greater Syria). (From here onwards, it is like the previous hadith.) He said, "I asked them, 'Why do you prostrate to your leaders?'" They replied, "In the laws of the prophets before us, this was the way of greeting." So I said, "(If that is the case,) then we are more deserving to do this with our Prophet." Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Just as those people altered their religious books, they also lied about their prophets. Indeed, Allah Almighty has given us a better greeting than theirs, the greeting of the people of Paradise."
