Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27537 — Greeting the people of dhimmah

Alqamah said: I was coming with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) from a place called Saylahin, when some landlords (dihqans) from the place of al-Hirah joined him in company. When these people entered Kufah, they left this road and took another road. He turned toward them and saw that they had turned off from the road, so he gave them the greeting of peace. I asked, "Did you give the greeting of peace to these disbelievers?" He said, "Indeed, these people kept me company, and a companion has some right as well."
