2485. 'Abdullāh bin Salām said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ arrived – meaning in Al-Madinah – the people came out to meet him. It was said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had arrived, so I went among the people to get a look at him. When I gazed upon the face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I knew that this face was not the face of a liar. The first thing that he spoke about was that he said: 'O you people! Spread the Salām, feed (others), and perform Salāt while the people are sleeping; you will enter Paradise with (the greeting of) Salām.'"[1] (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Sahīh.

٢٤٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ‌وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‌وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ‌وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَوْفِ بْنِ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ: «لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ» انْجَفَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ، وَقِيلَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجِئْتُ فِي النَّاسِ لِأَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَثْبَتُّ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَيْسَ بِوَجْهِ كَذَّابٍ، وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ أَنْ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ، وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ، وَصَلُّوا وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Meeting the people with love and affection and with feelings of well-wishing and sympathy and worshipping Allāh with the sincerity of heart means unimpeded entry into Paradise.
