It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some women, children, and servants of the Ansar were passing by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as they were returning from a wedding. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted them with salam and said, "By Allah! I love you people."
