A man who says: Give so-and-so my greetings

Abu Uthman said: A man came to Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Indeed, so-and-so has conveyed salam to you." He asked: "How many days ago?" He mentioned the days. He said: "Had you not done so, it would have been a trust that you were obliged to discharge."

Abd al-A'la said: Ibn al-Hanafiyyah said concerning a man who says, "Convey salam to so-and-so": "It is a trust, unless that person forgets."

Asim said: I asked Abu Mijlaz about a man saying to another man, "Convey salam to so-and-so, and there is no blame." He said: "It will be a trust." And when he says, "Shall I convey salam on your behalf?", he said: "In that there will be latitude."
