The Virtue of Greeting with the Salam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... , , so you have now entered the gathering.
Another questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : This is among the meanings of his statement (peace be upon him) in the well-known, authentic hadith:Musnad Ahmad 1430, 1431, 1432Da'if (Darussalam). It is like a saw, going up and down; the one who enters and the one who leaves. "Peace be upon you" is ten, "and Allah's mercy" is twenty, and "and His blessings" is thirty. It is a great virtue from Allah.
A man entered the Prophet's gathering and greeted, saying: "Peace be upon you." He said:. The second came: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy." He said: . The third came and said: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and His blessings." He said: . They said: O Messenger of Allah, the first man entered and you said: , the second: , the third: . He said: .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... it is there that the well-known verse comes:[An-Nisa 4:86]. If the one who greets says: "Peace be upon you," and the one who responds says: "And upon you peace," then it is ten. If he says: "And upon you peace and Allah's mercy," he has twenty. But the point is, if the one who greets says it, he is written thirty; so what is the response?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a matter in which there is disagreement among the scholars, some of whom say...
Please, my brothers, please. What is the difference between "hay" and "hadeek"? ... Yes, "hay" is soft.
The first is not more entitled than the second
الأولى بأحق من الأخرىIf one of you enters a gathering, let him greet, and if he leaves, let him greet, for the first is not more entitled than the second
إذا دخل أحدكم المجلس فليسلِّم ، وإذا خرج فليسلِّم ، فليست الأولى بأحق من الأخرىAnother questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : This is among the meanings of his statement (peace be upon him) in the well-known, authentic hadith:
By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something that will help you to achieve that? Spread (the greeting of) salaam amongst yourselves.
والذي نفس محمَّد بيده لا تدخلوا الجنة حتَّى تؤمنوا ، ولا تؤمنوا حتى تحابُّوا ، أَفَلَا أدلُّكم على شيء إذا فعلتموه تحابَبْتُم ؟! أفشوا السَّلام بينكمA man entered the Prophet's gathering and greeted, saying: "Peace be upon you." He said:
