Question

What is the reference of this Hadith?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“When people are passing by it is enough if one of them greets (makes salam) on their behalf and it is enough for those who are sitting if one of them replies to the salam”

 

Answer

Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5168)

This narration is corroborated and suitable to quote.

(Refer: Fathul Bari, Hadith: 6227, vol. 11, pg. 7)

Kindly refer to a Mufti/Darul Ifta for a Fiqh ruling on this issue.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

سنن أبي داود:
(٥١٦٨) 
 حدثنا الحسن بن علي، حدثنا عبد الملك بن إبراهيم الجدى، حدثنا سعيد بن خالد الخزاعي، حدثني عبد الله بن الفضل، حدثنا عبيد الله بن أبي رافع عن علي بن أبي طالب -قال أبو داود: رفعه الحسن بن علي-
قال: «يجزئ عن الجماعة، إذا مروا، أن يسلم أحدهم، ويجزى عن الجلوس أن يرد أحدهم».

فتح الباري لابن حجر: (١١/ ٧)
واحتج للجمهور بحديث علي رفعه يجزئ عن الجماعة إذا مروا أن يسلم أحدهم ويجزي عن الجلوس أن يرد أحدهم أخرجه أبو داود والبزار وفي سنده ضعف لكن له شاهد من حديث الحسن بن علي عند الطبراني وفي سنده مقال وآخر مرسل في الموطأ عن زيد بن أسلم.
