Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
By Him in
Whose Hand is my life! You will not enter Jannah until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one
another. Shall I inform you of something which, if you do, you will love one another? Promote greetings amongst
yourselves.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Iman is a prerequisite for entry to Jannah. Whereas mutual love among Muslims is complementary to
it, and this quality can only be attained by giving a social character to the Islamic form of greeting, that is to say,
`As-Salamu `Alaikum.'

`Abdullah bin Salam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
saying,
"O people, exchange greetings of peace (i.e., say: As-Salamu `Alaikum to one another), feed people,
strengthen the ties of kinship, and be in prayer when others are asleep, you will enter Jannah in peace.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
All these habits and practices are indispensable to a believer because each one of them leads to
Jannah with the first people to enter it without being punished in Hell first.

At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka`b (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I used to visit `Abdullah bin `Umar
(May Allah be pleased with them) in the morning and accompany him to the market. `Abdullah offered greetings of
peace to every one he met on the way, be they sellers of petty goods, traders or poor people. One day when I came to
him, he asked me to accompany him to the market. I said to him:
"What is the point of your going to the market
when you do not sell, nor ask about articles, nor offer a price for them, nor sit down with any company of people.
Let us sit down here and talk.''
He replied:
"O Abu Batn (belly)! (Tufail had a large belly), we go to the market to
greet everyone we meet.''
[Malik].
Commentary:
This Hadith highlights `Abdullah bin `Umar's passion for promoting Salam which is a practice of
Sunnah. Secondly, we can call a person by his epithetic name provided he is not offended by it.
