Sunnats and Aadaab of Greeting (Salaam) – Part 23

1.When two Muslims meet, then after salaam they should make musaafaha (shake hands). Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said that the completion of greeting one’s Muslim brother at the time of meeting him is that he makes musaafaha with him after salaam.

عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال من تمام التحية الأخذ باليد (ترمذي رقم 2730)

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “(When two Muslims meet) then the completion of their greeting (each other with salaam) is that they make musaafaha with each other.”
