٤٤٦٦ - وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو (رضي الله عنهما) إِنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ خَيْرُ؟ قَالَ: «تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ ، وَتَقْرَأُ1 السَّلَامَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ». مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.

Commentary and footnotes (2)

Note 1

offer the greeting of peace to those you know and those you do not know

(1) His statement: “offer the greeting of peace to those you know and those you do not know”: This generality is specific to Muslims; it is not permissible to initiate the greeting of salaam to a non-Muslim. Likewise, it excludes the transgressor (fasiq) if harm is implied; otherwise, it is not disliked. As stated in Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar and Radd al-Muhtar.

قوله

(۱) قوله: تقرئ السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرف وهذا التعميم مخصوص بالمسلمين، فلا يسلم ابتداءا على كافر، وكذا يخص منه الفاسق أي لو معنا، وإلا فلا يكره التقطته من الدر المختار» و«رد المحتار».
