Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... My companion has guests, guests from ... He says, "Peace be upon you," as he is leaving. "Peace be upon you," as he is returning. "Peace be upon you" ... Is there a text regarding this?
The Shaykh : What is this?
The questioner : I mean, is there a text?
The Shaykh : Of course, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, ; meaning, it is as if you are now also drawing Abu Abdullah's attention to the fact that he has left more than once just now and did not greet.
The student : No, he greeted.
Another student: ...
The Shaykh : He greeted. We noticed when he entered, but when he left, I did not notice. This is perhaps a mistake on my part, meaning, and the correct thing from him.
The student : Because I intend ... as the host, he goes in and out frequently.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : But there are no moments ... .
The Shaykh : What is on him? Let him be like a saw, going up and down.
The student : ... There is nothing ... Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : No, it is the habit that tires him. The habit is that we are accustomed to one person entering once and greeting, and that is the end of it. No, my brother, no. There is a hadith from which the difference appears between a person who lives in the atmosphere of the Sunnah, because he is saturated with it and all his actions, movements, and stillnesss proceed from it, and so on. There is a hadith that says: A man entered and said, "Peace be upon you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. A second man entered and said, "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy." He said: . A third man entered and said, "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings." He said: . They said: O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so entered and you said: ten; so-and-so entered and you said: twenty; so-and-so entered and you said: thirty? He said: ; they became twenty, . So, the Muslim strives to increase his good deeds, and the reason is that He (the Exalted) said: [Hud 11:114].
The student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. Welcome.
The student: Peace be upon you.
Another student : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : What is this?
The questioner : I mean, is there a text?
The Shaykh : Of course, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When one of you enters the gathering, let him offer the greeting of peace, and when he leaves, let him offer the greeting of peace; the first is not more deserving than the second.

إذا دخل أحدكم المجلس فليسلِّمThe student : No, he greeted.
