حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ شَهْرَ بْنَ حَوْشَبٍ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ تُحَدِّثُ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " مَرَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمًا وَعُصْبَةٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قُعُودٌ فَأَلْوَى بِيَدِهِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ ، وَأَشَارَ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بِيَدِهِ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ لَا بَأْسَ بِحَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ بَهْرَامَ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل : شَهْرٌ حَسَنُ الْحَدِيثِ , وَقَوَّى أَمْرَهُ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ثُمَّ رَوَى عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي زَيْنَبَ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْمَصَاحِفِيُّ بَلْخِيٌّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ شَهْرًا نَزَكُوهُ , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : قَالَ النَّضْرُ : نَزَكُوهُ أَيْ طَعَنُوا فِيهِ ، وَإِنَّمَا طَعَنُوا فِيهِ لِأَنَّهُ وَلِيَ أَمْرَ السُّلْطَانِ .
´Narrated Asma bint Yazid:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed through the Masjid one day, and a group of women were sitting, so he motioned his hand with the Salam - 'Abdul-Hamid (one of the narrators) gestured with his hand.
Brief Explanation
1؎ : It is understood from this that where there is no fear of temptation (fitnah), it is permissible for men and women to greet each other with salam, for example, if there is a group of women or if the woman is elderly, because in both these cases there is no fear of temptation. However, for a man to greet a young woman when she is alone, or similarly for a young woman alone to greet a man, is not correct, because both these situations are not free from temptation.
