وَعَنْ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْتِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، فَيَغْدُو مَعَهُ إِلَى السُّوقِ، قَالَ‏:‏ فَإِذَا غَدَوْنَا إِلَى السُّوقِ، لَمْ يَمُرَّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَلَى سَقَاطٍ وَلاَ صَاحِبِ بَيْعَةٍ، وَلاَ مِسْكِينٍ، وَلاَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ الطُّفَيْلُ، فَجِئْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَوْمًا، فَاسْتَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى السُّوقِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ‏:‏ ما تصنع بالسوق، وَأَنْتَ لاَ تَقِفُ عَلَى الْبَيِّعِ وَلاَ تَسْأَلُ عَنِ السِّلَعِ، وَلاَ تَسُومُ بِهَا، وَلاَ تَجْلِسُ فِي مَجَالِسِ السُّوقِ‏؟‏ وأقول‏:‏ اجلس بنا هاهنا نتحدث، فقال يَا أَبَا بَطْنٍ- وَكَانَ الطُّفَيْلُ ذَا بَطْنٍ- إِنَّمَا نَغْدُو مِنْ أَجْلِ السَّلاَمِ فنسلم على من لقيناه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رَوَاهُ مالك في الموطأ بإسناد صَحِيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka'b (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I used to visit 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) in the morning and accompany him to the market. 'Abdullah offered greetings of peace to every one he met on the way, be they sellers of petty goods, traders or poor people. One day when I came to him, he asked me to accompany him to the market. I said to him: "What is the point of your going to the market when you do not sell, nor ask about articles, nor offer a price for them, nor sit down with any company of people. Let us sit down here and talk." He replied: "O Abu Batn (father of a belly) - Tufail had a large belly - we go to the market to greet everyone we meet." [Malik, with a sound chain].
