Question:
May Allah reward you. What is mentioned regarding Sulayman ibn Harb, that he said: Is kissing a man's hand a small prostration?
Answer:
No, it is a sin, or rather, this is if he intends it to be prostration. If not, it is a matter of honoring. Some of the Companions used to kiss the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a sign of honor.
