Salaam.WARNING UPON NOT REPLYING TO THE SALAAM.
It has been narrated from Abdur Rahmaan ibn Shayba; he says the Holy Prophet said, "A rider should give salaam to a walking person, a walking person should give salaam to a seated person, a small group should give salaam to a larger group, whoever then responds to salaam, it is for his benefit, and he who does not respond to salaam, is not from amongst us."Ibn Sunni has narrated this and also Imam Bukhari in his book Al Adabul Mufrad. On these bases Allama Nawawi in his commentary of Sahih Muslim has said, "To commence salaam is Sunnah and to reply is Wajib."Similarly Hafiz ibn Abdul Bar says, "It is a unanimous agreement of the Muslims that to commence Salaam is Sunnah and to reply is Wajib."Labels: syarahan ringkas
