حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، انْجَفَلَ النَّاسُ قِبَلَهُ ، وَقِيلَ : قَدْ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَدْ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، ثَلَاثًا ، فَجِئْتُ فِي النَّاسِ لِأَنْظُرَ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنْتُ وَجْهَهُ , عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَيْسَ بِوَجْهِ كَذَّابٍ ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ , أَنْ قَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ ، وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ ، وَصِلُوا الْأَرْحَامَ ، وَصَلُّوا بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ ، تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ " .
´‘Abdullah bin Salam said:` “When the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah, the people rushed to meet him, and it was said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has come! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has come! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has come!’ Three times. I came with the people to see him, and when I saw his face clearly, I knew that his face was not the face of a liar. The first thing I heard him say was when he said: ‘O people! Spread (the greeting of) Salam, feed others, uphold the ties of kinship, and pray during the night when people are sleeping, and you will enter Paradise with Salam.”*

Abdullah bin Salam radi Allahu anhu was a Jew before embracing Islam.
Therefore, he was aware of those signs
which were mentioned in the previous scriptures regarding the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
On this basis, he was honored to accept Islam.
(2)
Goodness and evil, truth and falsehood, have an effect on a person’s outward appearance as well.
Because of this, an intelligent person can recognize from the face
who is truthful
and who is a liar.
The meaning of spreading salam generally is that Muslims should greet each other abundantly with salam,
even to those Muslims with whom there is no direct kinship or friendship, or who are strangers.
They should also be greeted with salam.
(4)
Feeding (others) refers to providing material assistance to the poor, needy, and deserving individuals, which, due to mutual compassion among Muslims, is an important characteristic of Islamic society.
In addition, serving guests and preparing better food for them than the ordinary meal is also included in this.
(5)
The night prayer (tahajjud) is a means for the forgiveness of sins and the elevation of ranks.
(6)
Paradise is attained by fulfilling the rights of Allah (huquq Allah) and the rights of people (huquq al-‘ibad).
Entering Paradise with peace means entering Paradise without having to endure the punishment of Hell due to sins or because of the abundance of good deeds.
According to one narration, this sentence is also present in this hadith: (wa silu al-arham)
“And maintain the ties of kinship,”
that is, fulfill the rights of relatives. (Musnad Ahmad: 451/4)
