93 – Hamzah related to me; Abdan narrated to us; Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, from Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:
“I heard ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb greet a man with salām, and the man returned it. ʿUmar then asked, ‘How are you?’ The man replied, ‘I praise Allah before you.’ ʿUmar said, ‘That is precisely what I wanted to hear from you.’”
