Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7487 — about Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الدِّمْيَاطِيُّ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْبَيْرُوتِيُّ، ثنا إِدْرِيسُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْأَلْهَانِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْأَلْهَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ لَقِيَهُ. قَالَ: فَمَا عَلِمْتُ أَحَدًا سَبَقَهُ بِالسَّلَامِ إِلَّا يَهُودِيًّا مَرَّةً اخْتَبَأَ لَهُ خَلْفَ أُسْطُوَانَةٍ، فَخَرَجَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ: وَيْحَكَ يَا يَهُودِيُّ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُكَ رَجُلًا تُكْثِرُ السَّلَامَ، فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ فَضْلٌ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ: وَيْحَكَ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَ السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةً لِأُمَّتِنَا، وَأَمَانًا لِأَهْلِ ذِمَّتِنَا»
Muhammad bin Ziyad al-Alhani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates about Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to greet everyone he met with salam. The narrator said: I never saw anyone get ahead of him in giving the greeting, except once a Jew who hid from him behind a pillar, then came out and greeted him. Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Woe to you, O Jew! What made you do what you did? He said: I saw that you are a man who gives the greeting a great deal, so I knew that it is a virtue, and I wanted to adopt it. At this Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Woe to you! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah has made the salam a greeting (tahiyyah) for our Ummah and a guarantee of safety for the protected people (ahl al-dhimmah) under us."
