2727. Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No two Muslims meet each other and shake hands, except that Allāh forgives them before they part." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib as a narration of Abū Ishāq from Al-Barā'. This Hadith has been reported from Al-Barā' through other routes. [Al-Ajlah (a narrator in the chain) is Ibn 'Abdullāh bin Hujayyah bin 'Adī Al-Kindī].
٢٧٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَتَصَافَحَانِ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُمَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ. وَالْأَجْلَحُ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُجَيَّةَ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيُّ.

Musāfahah is derived from Safahah which means 'palm of hand'; Islamically it means joining or touching two palms with each other. This is also a way to express love, delight, respect and honor at the time of meeting, that hands are shaken warmly when offering the Islamic greeting, and it fulfills the mentioned objectives of the Islamic greeting.
