Arabic text
3701 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ: «مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نِسْوَةٍ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا»

Commentary
a. A marriageable man can greet a marriageable woman and vice versa, provided there is no fear of temptation. b. The example of being safe from temptation is that if a woman is very aged, or there are lot of women and no chance of misunderstanding, in this case, a man can greet them. c. A young woman greeting a lone man or a man greeting a young woman may cause evil. So, one should avoid such practice. Unmarriageable men and women can greet each other, rather they should greet each other, since it prevents them from inappropriate thoughts.
