Is it a condition for visiting the Prophet's Mosque to greet the Messenger and his two companions?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah bless you. We have a call from Khamis from al-Baha, may Allah greet you. We have Hissam Khamis from al-Baha, may Allah greet you. Peace be upon you. Turn off the television, Khamis. And peace. My brother, I say I wanted to speak to the Shaykh. He is hearing you now. The question is: I went to al-Madinah for a visit, and on Friday we attended the Friday prayer, and I went, I was tired, and I did not greet the Messenger, nor Abu Bakr, nor 'Umar, or anything else. Another question. No, no, thank you, please, Shaykh.

Answer:
My brother, since you prayed in the Prophet's Mosque and obtained the reward of a thousand prayers in any other place, as came in the hadith, it is not obligatory for you to greet the Messenger or his two companions. If it is possible, that is good and completes the visit. If it is not possible, then nothing is required of you, my brother. Yes.
