Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 16571 — I passed by and saw the Messenger

حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السَّاجِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَخْرَمِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى السَّعْدِيُّ، ثنا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَاضِعًا خَدَّهُ عَلَى خَدِّ رَجُلٍ، فَذَهَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ نَادَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ؟» ، فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُكَ فَعَلْتَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ شَيْئًا لَمْ تَفْعَلْهُ بِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْطَعَكَ مِنْ حَدِيثِكَ، فَمَنْ كَانَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟، قَالَ: " كَانَ جِبْرِيلُ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: مَا لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ لَمْ يُسَلِّمْ؟، أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ سَلَّمَ لَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ "، قَالَ: فَمَا قَالَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟، قَالَ: «مَا زَالَ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى كُنْتُ أَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَنِي بِتَوْرِيثِهِ»
Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I passed by and saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on al-Safa with a man, placing his cheek upon that man's cheek, so I went away. Not long after, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said: "O Muhammad bin Maslamah! What prevented you from giving the greeting of peace?" Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I saw that you were doing something with this man that you have not done with anyone else, so I disliked interrupting your conversation. O Messenger of Allah! Who was he? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That was Jibril (peace be upon him), and he said: 'What is the matter with Muhammad bin Maslamah that he did not give the greeting? Had he given the greeting, we would have returned his greeting.'" Muhammad bin Maslamah said: O Messenger of Allah! What did he say to you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He kept urging me so much regarding the neighbour that I began to think he would command me to make him an heir."
