حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا. أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَىْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (may peace and blessing be upon him) observed: You shall not enter Paradise so long as you do not affirm belief (in all those things which are the articles of faith) and you will not believe as long as you do not love one another. Should I not direct you to a thing which, if you do, will foster love amongst you: (i. e.) give currency to (the practice of paying salutation to one another by saying) as-salamu alaikum.

سفیان نے کہا : جابر نے جس ( عقیدے ) کا اظہار کیا اس کے اظہار سے پہلے لوگ اس سے حدیث لیتے تھے ، جب اس نے اس کا اظہار کر دیا تو لوگوں نے اسے اس کی ( بیان کردہ ) حدیث کے بارے میں مطعون کیا اور بعض نے اسے چھوڑ دیا ۔ ان سے پوچھا گیا : اس نے کس چیز کا

What it means

What it teaches

• Entering Paradise is contingent on faith.
• Perfect faith entails that a Muslim loves for his brother what he loves for himself.
• It is recommended to spread the greeting of peace and extend it among Muslims, as this results in spreading love and security between people.
• The greeting of peace is to be extended only to Muslims, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among yourselves".
• Extending the greeting of peace eliminates division, abandonment, and rancor.
• The importance of love between Muslims, which is a part of perfect faith.
• Another Hadīth mentions that the complete form of the greeting of peace is: "As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh" (may the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you); however, it is sufficient to say: "As-salāmu ‘alaykum" (peace be upon you).
