The Virtue of Spreading the Salam and Its Impact

Question:
Another questioner asks: Shaykh, in this written question regarding the virtue of spreading the salam, what is the impact resulting from spreading the salam?

Answer:
Spreading the salam is something the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, saying: “Feed people and spread the salam.” Spreading the salam brings about affection and the purity of hearts, and it brings about security. A person feels safe from his brother when he greets him with the salam, and he feels safe with everyone he mixes with or passes by; he feels safe because of that, he feels safe when he greets them with the salam. It spreads tranquility, it spreads love, and it spreads great benefits, and in it is great reward. Yes.
