(سَلَامُ وَاحِدٍ وَجَوَابُ وَاحِدٍ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ كَافٍ)
(One person’s greeting and one person’s response in a group is sufficient)
Hadith 4648
وَعَنْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ إِذَا مَرُّوا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ أَحَدُهُمْ وَيُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْجُلُوسِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ أَحَدُهُمْ. رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ» مَرْفُوعا. وروى أَبُو دَاوُد وَقَالَ: وَرَفعه الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَهُوَ شَيْخُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ
Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When a group of people passes by, it is sufficient for one person among them to give the greeting (salaam), and for those who are sitting, it is sufficient for one person among them to reply. Baihaqi narrated it as marfu’ in Shu’ab al-Iman. And Abu Dawood, after narrating this hadith, said: Hasan bin Ali narrated it as marfu’, and he is a teacher of Abu Dawood. Hasan, narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Iman and Abu Dawood.
