1196 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَي قَوْمٍ جُلُوسٍ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَإِذَا قُمْتَ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَإِنَّ الْأُولَي لَيْسَتْ أَحَقَّ مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He learned of this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "When you go to a group of people sitting, greet them with salam. And when you get up (to leave), then (again) greet them with salam, because the first one does not have more right than the second one."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
From this hadith, the importance of saying "as-salamu alaykum" becomes clear: when you enter a gathering, you should say "as-salamu alaykum," and when you leave, you should again say "as-salamu alaykum." Just as saying salam upon entering a gathering is a virtuous deed, likewise, saying salam when leaving the gathering is also a virtuous deed. One should not be negligent in saying salam at both of these times. Some people say salam when entering a gathering but do not say salam when leaving, which is not correct.

Explanation:
1:
That is, both greetings (salams) hold equal importance and necessity. Just as one should offer salam upon joining a gathering, likewise, when departing from the gathering, one should also leave by offering a prayer of peace (salam) to everyone.
