Prophet for all humanity

قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ يُحْيِـي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
(7:158) [Say, O Muhammad]: 'O men! I am Allah's Messenger to you all - of Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no god but He. He grants life and deals death. Have faith then, in Allah and in His Messenger, the ummi Prophet who believes in Allah and His words; and follow him so that you may be guided aright.'

Chapter 139
Excellence of Greeting on Arrival and Departure

وفارق جلساءه أَوْ جليسه

[869] وعن أَبي هريرة قال : قَالَ رسول الله : « إِذَا انْتَهى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى المَجْلِسِ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ ، فَإذَا أرَادَ أنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ ، فَلَيْسَتِ الأُولَى بِأحَقّ مِنَ الآخِرَةِ » . رواه أَبُو داود والترمذي ، وقال : ( حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ) . فيه : مشروعية السلام عند دخول المجلس ، وعند القيام منه . قال الطيبي : قيل : كما أن التسليمة الأولى إخبار عن سلاماتهم من شره عند الحضور ، فكذا الثانية إخبار عن سلامتهم من شره عند الغيبة .

869. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When one of you arrives in a gathering, he should offer Salam to those who are already there, and he should also do so when he intends to depart. The first act of greeting is not more meritorious than the last."

[Abu Dawud].

Commentary: We should offer As-Salam to those sitting in a gathering, on our arrival as well as departure. Both the greetings are essential. "The first act of greeting is not more meritorious than the last" means that we should utter it on both occasions.
