Abu Hurayra reported that a man passed by the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), while hew as in an assembly and said, "Peace be upon you." "Ten good deeds," he said. Another man passed by and said, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Twenty good deeds." Then yet another man passed by and said, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessing," and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Thirty good deeds." Then a man in the gathering got up and did not give the greeting. The Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), said, "How quickly your companion forgets! When one of you comes to an assembly, he should give the greeting. If he thinks he should sit down, he sits down. When he stands up, he gives the greeting. Neither is a greater duty than the other."
