2700. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not precede the Jews and the Christians with the Salām. And if one of you meets them in the path, then force them to its narrow portion."[1] (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh.
٢٧٠٠ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَبْدَأُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى بِالسَّلَامِ،» وَإِذَا لَقِيتُمْ أَحَدَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ فَاضْطَرُّوهُمْ إِلَى أَضْيَقِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Saying Salām is a means to express honor and respect to others and paying respect and honor to the non-believers, thus, is not correct; if a disbeliever comes across a path, he should not be given the right of way rather he should be forced to walk on the side of the road so that he does not regard himself honorable and respectable.
