2728. Anas bin Mālik narrated that a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh! When a man among us meets his brother or his friend should he bow to him?" He said: "No." He said: "Should he embrace him and kiss him?" He said: "No." He said: "Should he take his hand and shake it?" He said: "Yes." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٧٢٨ - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «قَالَ رَجُلٌ»: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يَلْقَى أَخَاهُ أَوْ صَدِيقَهُ، أَيَنْحَنِي لَهُ، قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: أَفَيَلْتَزِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ، قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: أَفَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ وَيُصَافِحُهُ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.
