The questioner: The salam, what is the salam?
The Shaykh: It is one of the names of Allah.
The questioner: No, we have a shaykh who teaches.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: I said to him: Why, when you stand on the pulpit to teach, do you not throw the salam to the public? He said: It is not reported from the Prophet.
The Shaykh : May Allah protect you.
The questioner : When he was teaching, I said to him: How do you get up on the minbar and throw the greeting?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He said: ... he teaches ... the greeting, but ... is there a text regarding it?
