باب في إِفْشَاءِ السَّلاَمِ:Chapter on spreading the greeting of peace
Hadith 2668
أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، اسْتَشْرَفَهُ النَّاسُ، فَقَالُوا: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فِيمَنْ خَرَجَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَهُ، عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَيْسَ بِوَجْهِ كَذَّابٍ . فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ , يَقُولُ: "يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ، وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ، وَصِلُوا الْأَرْحَامَ، وَصَلُّوا وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ، تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming to Madinah, the people were waiting for him. When he arrived, the people came out to meet him. I was among them, and when I saw the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I said to myself that this cannot be the face of a liar. The very first thing I heard from him was: "O people! Spread peace (i.e., greet each other with Salam), feed others, maintain ties of kinship, and pray at night when people are asleep; you will enter Paradise in peace."
