٢٧٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يُسَلِّمُ الرَّاكِبُ عَلَى الْمَاشِي، وَالْمَاشِي عَلَى الْقَاعِدِ،» وَالْقَلِيلُ عَلَى الْكَثِيرِ. وَزَادَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى فِي حَدِيثِهِ، وَيُسَلِّمُ الصَّغِيرُ عَلَى الْكَبِيرِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ، وَفَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، وَجَابِرٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ: إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.

Commentary
This Hadīth specifies the people and establishes a rule, who should say Salām first; a rider will say Salām to the walking one, it will create the sense of humbleness and humility, a walking person will say Salām to the sitting one because he is the one who is coming, a smaller number of people will say Salām to the larger number of people in their respect, and the young would demonstrate politeness and respect by saying Salām to an elder.
