5205. It was narrated that Suhail bin Abī Ṣāliḥ said: "I went out to Ash-Shām with my father, and we started passing by cloisters in which there were Christians and greeting them. My father said: 'Do not initiate the greeting, because Abū Hurairah told us that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not initiate the greeting with them, and if you meet them in the street, force them to the narrowest part of the street." (Ṣāḥih)
5205 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَجَعَلُوا يَمُرُّونَ بِصَوَامِعَ فِيهَا نَصَارَى فَيُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: أَبِي لَا تَبْدَءُوهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا تَبْدَءُوهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ، وَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَاضْطَرُّوهُمْ إِلَى أَضْيَقِ الطَّرِيقِ»
