1150 — “The rider should greet the pedestrian, the pedestrian the one seated, and the smaller group the larger group.”

It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in al-Adab al-Mufrad (145), al-Tirmidhī (2/118), and Aḥmad (6/19), through Abū Hānīʾ Ḥumayd ibn Hānīʾ al-Khawlānī, from Abū ʿAlī al-Janabī, from Fuḍālah ibn ʿUbayd, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Al-Tirmidhī said: “This is a good, authentic hadith. Abū ʿAlī al-Janabī’s name is ʿAmr ibn Mālik.” It was also narrated by al-Nasāʾī and Ibn Ḥibbān in his Ṣaḥīḥ, as cited in al-Fatḥ (11/12). It has also been reported with the wording: “The rider should greet,” and this has preceded shortly before.

It has also been reported in two other wordings: one, “Whenever he sent one of his Companions,” and the other, “Call the people”; both have preceded. It also has a corroborating report with the wording: “Make things easy and do not make them difficult; put people at ease and do not drive them away.” It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (7/101) and Muslim (5/141) on the authority of Anas. Aḥmad also recorded it (3/131).
