2696. Sayyār said: "I was walking with Thābit Al-Bunānī. He passed by some boys, so he said Salām to them. Then Thābit said: 'I was with Anas when he passed by some boys and gave the Salām to them, and Anas said: I was with the Prophet ﷺ when he passed by some boys and he gave the Salām to them.'" (Sahīh)
