For Sale at $300, but Buy it for $800

Sayyidna Jareer ibn Abdullah, Radi-Allahu anhu, once sent his servant for buying a horse. The servant made a deal for three hundred dirhams and brought the seller with him so he could be paid. Sayyidna Jareer ibn Abdullah, Radi-Allahu anhu, looked at the horse and realized that the seller had undervalued it. "Would you sell it for four hundred?" he asked. The seller agreed. "How about five hundred?" he continued his unusual "bargaining" and finally bought the horse for eight hundred dirhams. He was later asked why he did so. "The seller was not aware of the true value of this horse, " he explained. "I have simply given him a fair price because I had promised to Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to always be sincere and well-wisher for every Muslim."

Chapter 135
Excellence of Greeting at the time of entry into the House

قَالَ الله تَعَالَى : ﴿ فَإذَا دَخَلْتُمْ بُيُوتاً فَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ﴾ [ النور (61) ] . هذه الآية عامة في جميع البيوت ، فإذا دخل بيتًا فيه أهله فليسلِّم عليهم . وإذا دخل بيته فليسلِّم على أهله . وإذا دخل بيتًا خاليًا فليقل : السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين .

Allah, the Exalted, says:

"But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allah (i.e., say: As-Salamu 'Alaikum - may you be safe from evil), blessed and good." (24:61)

[861] وعن أنسٍ قال : قَالَ لي رسول الله : « يَا بُنَيَّ ، إِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَى أهْلِكَ ، فَسَلِّمْ ، يَكُنْ بَرَكَةً عَلَيْكَ ، وعلى أهْلِ بَيْتِكَ » . رواه الترمذي ، وقال : ( حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحيحٌ ) . فيه : الأمر بالسلام إذا دخل بيته لتناله بركة التحية .

861. Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "Dear son, when you enter your house, say As-Salamu 'Alaikum to your family, for it will be a blessing both to you and to your family."

[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: Many people, on returning home, feel belittled in saying As-Salamu 'Alaikum to their household. In fact, As-Salam is a prayer for goodness, blessing and peace, and one should have no complex about it.
