2719. Al-Miqdād bin Al-Aswad said: "Two of my companions and I went and presented ourselves to
the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, for our hearing and sight had gone from suffering (hunger and thirst). But there was no one who would accept us. So we went to the Prophet ﷺ and he brought us to his family where there were three goats. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Milk these.' We milked them, and each person drank his share, and we put aside a share for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came during the night and gave the Salām such that it would not wake the sleeping person, and the one who was awake could hear it. Then he went to the Masjid to perform Salāt. Then he went for his drink and drank it." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
This Ḥadīth tells about the Prophet's hospitality, etiquettes of night prayer and the way of saying Salām, it should not be so aloud that it awakens the sleeping ones and not so low that an awake person cannot hear.
