Short Quotes

Superiority only in Rightousness
On a certain occasion the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) was travelling on his camel over hilly terrain with a disciple, Uqba Bin Aamir. After going some distance, he asked Uqba to ride the camel, but Uqba thought this would be showing disrespect to the Prophet (s.a.a.w.). But the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) insisted and he had to comply. The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) himself walked on foot as he did not want to put too much load on the animal. [Nasai]

Chapter 134
Excellence of Greeting the Acquaintance Repeatedly

عَلَى من تكرر لقاؤه عَلَى قرب بأن دخل ثم خرج ثُمَّ دخل في الحال ، أَو حال بينهما شجرة ونحوها

[859] عن أَبي هريرة في حديثِ المسِيءِ صلاته : أنّه جَاءَ فَصَلَّى ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى النبي فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ ، فَقَالَ : « ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ » فَرَجَعَ فَصَلَّى ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النبي حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ . في هذا الحديث : دليل على استحباب إعادة السلام في مثل ذلك .

859. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported in the Hadith in respect of the person who was at fault in performing his Salat (prayer): He came to the Prophet (PBUH) and greeted him. The Prophet (PBUH) responded to the greeting and said, "Go back and repeat your Salat because you have not performed the Salat (properly)." He again performed Salat as he had prayed before and came to the Prophet (PBUH) and greeted him. The Prophet (PBUH) responded to the greetings (and repeated his words to him). This act of repeating (the Salat and the Salam) was done thrice.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith tells us that one can greet others after short intervals.

[860] وعنه عن رسول الله قَالَ : « إِذَا لَقِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ أخَاهُ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَإنْ حَالَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَجَرَةٌ ، أَوْ جِدَارٌ ، أَوْ حَجَرٌ ، ثُمَّ لَقِيَهُ ، فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ » . رواه أَبُو داود . المراد بالحيلولة : ما يمنع الرؤية بحيث يعد فاصلاً عرفيًا .

860. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When one of you meets a brother (in Faith) he should greet him. Then if a tree or a wall or a stone intervenes between them and then he meets him again, he should greet him."

[Abu Dawud].

Commentary: This Hadith convincingly bears out the subject matter of the chapter.
