It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Madinah al-Darimi (may Allah be pleased with him), who had the honour of companionship, that when two men from among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met, they would not part until one of them had recited this surah to the other: "By time, indeed mankind is in loss," and then one of them would greet the other with salam.
Imam Ali bin al-Madini (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Abu Madinah's name is Abdullah bin Hisn."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Abu Madinah only with this chain; Hammad bin Salamah is alone in narrating it."
