Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 8251 — on the Right of Greeting with Salam
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ انْجَفَلَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنِ انْجَفَلَ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنْتُ وَجْهَهُ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَيْسَ بِوَجْهِ كَذَّابٍ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ وَصِلُوا الْأَرْحَامَ وَصَلُّوا وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, people rushed towards him, and I was among them. When I looked closely at his blessed face, I knew that the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) could not be the face of a liar. Then the first thing I heard from him was this: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spread peace, feed others, maintain ties of kinship, and pray at night when people are asleep; you will enter Paradise in peace.
