Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

894 – Ṣafwān ibn ʿAssāl (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A Jew said to his companion, “Let us go to this Prophet.” They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about nine clear signs. The narration continues until his words: “So they kissed his hand and his foot (1) and said, ‘We bear witness that you are a Prophet.’” Reported by al-Tirmidhī and others with authentic chains of transmission.

895 – In a report from Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) he said: “We drew near to the Prophet ﷺ and kissed his hand.” Reported by Abū Dāwūd (2).

896 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Zayd ibn Ḥārithah arrived in Madinah while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in my house. He came and knocked at the door, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ stood up—his garment trailing—embraced him, and kissed him. Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who classified it as ḥasan (3).

897 – Abū Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Do not belittle any act of kindness, even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face.” Reported by Muslim.

898 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet ﷺ kissed al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī (may Allah be pleased with them both), and al-Aqraʿ ibn Ḥābis remarked, “I have ten children and I have never kissed any of them.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, “Whoever shows no mercy will be shown no mercy!” Agreed upon.

(1) I observe that the report rests on only one chain, both in the author’s collection and elsewhere. Within that chain appears Abdullah ibn Salamah al-Muradi—about whom the critics disagree—who also narrates Ali’s report prohibiting the recitation of the Quran while in a state of major ritual impurity. Leading hadith masters such as Ahmad, al-Shafi‘i, and al-Bukhari have judged him weak, as the author himself concedes; see the detailed discussion in Da‘if Abi Dawud, no. 30. Al-Zayla‘i quotes al-Nasa’i in Nasb al-Rayah, 4:258, concerning the version in al-Tirmidhi: “This hadith is munkar (denounced).” Al-Mundhiri adds that there is room for discussion regarding al-Nasa’i’s rejection. (2) The chain includes Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad al-Hashimi, their freedman; Ibn Hajar says of him: “Weak—when he grew old his memory failed and he had to be prompted.” (3) The isnad contains an ‘an‘ana by Muhammad ibn Ishaq, who is well known for practicing tadlis (concealing the intermediary).

٨٩٤ - وعن صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ يَهُودِيٌّ لِصَاحِبِهِ اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى هَذَا النَّبِيِّ ، فَأَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ تِسْعِ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : فَقَبَّلَا يَدَهُ وَرِجْلَهُ (١) ، وَقَالَا : نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ . رواه الترمذي وغيره بأسانيد صحيحة . ٨٩٥ - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما ، قِصَّةً قَالَ فِيهَا : فَدَنَوْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَبَّلْنَا يَدَهُ . رواه أبو داود (٢) . ٨٩٦ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت : قَدِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَرَعَ الْبَابَ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ ، فَاعْتَنَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ . رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن (٣) . ٨٩٧ - وعن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه قال : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا ، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ » . رواه مسلم . ٨٩٨ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قَبَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ، الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ : إِنَّ لِي عَشْرَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا قَبَّلْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمْ لَا يُرْحَمْ ! » متفق عليه .
