(Prohibition of bowing in respect)
Hadith 4680
وَعَن أنس قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يَلْقَى أَخَاهُ أَوْ صَدِيقَهُ أَيَنْحَنِي لَهُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا» . قَالَ: أَفَيَلْتَزِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا» . قَالَ: أَفَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ وَيُصَافِحُهُ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! When one of us meets his brother or his friend, should he bow his head before him?" He replied, "No." He asked, "Should he embrace him and kiss him?" He replied, "No." He asked, "Should he take his hand and shake hands with him?" He replied, "Yes." Its chain is weak. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi.
