بَابُ الْحَقِّ عَلَى السَّلَامِ وَفَضْلِهِ وَكَرَاهَةِ تَرْكِهِChapter on the Right of Greeting with Salam, Its Virtue, and the Dislike of Abandoning It
Hadith 8250
اُردوEn
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ تَسْلَمُوا وَالْأَثَرَةُ أَشَرُّ
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spread salam (greetings of peace) generally, you will remain safe; giving preference to only some people (for meeting and greeting) is the worst thing.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is evident that when Muslims, upon meeting each other, pray for peace, safety, mercy, and blessings for one another, then as a result, only peace and safety will be attained. In the light of other ahadith, due to the greeting of salam, love will increase, faith (iman) will be strengthened, and entry into Paradise (Jannah) will be granted.
