آداب السلام والاستئذان
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): "Which deed in Islam is the best?" He said: "Feeding people and extending the greeting of peace to those you know and those you do not know."
عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص -رضي الله عنهما- مرفوعاً: أن رجلاً سأل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: أي الإسلام خير؟ قال: «تطعم الطعام وتقرأ السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرف».
