The Book of Greetings
Words to be Used for Offering Greetings
وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَرَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمًا، وَعُصْبَةٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قُعُودٌ، فَأَلْوَى بِيَدِهِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ. ((رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَن))
Asma' bint Yazid (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed through the mosque one day and there was a group of women (about ten of them) sitting in the mosque. He raised his hand to offer greetings. [At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hasan].
