Jami at-Tirmidhi 3030 (Book 47, Hadith 82) #28679
Responding to Salutations

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of responding to salutations and not attacking people who greet you.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "A man from Banu Sulaim who had some sheep with him, passed by some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah . He gave Salam to them and they said: 'He did not give Salam except to protect himself'. So they attacked him, killed him, and took his sheep. They went to the Messenger of Allah with them, and Allah, Most High, revealed: O you who believe! When you go in the cause of Allah, verify and say not to anyone who greets you: "You are not a believer (4:94)".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَمَعَهُ غَنَمٌ لَهُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا مَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلاَّ لِيَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَامُوا فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غَنَمَهُ فَأَتَوْا بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏(‏ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا ‏)‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respond positively when someone greets us with salutation

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of responding to salutations. It is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that a man from Banu Sulaim passed by some companions of the Prophet Muhammad and greeted them, but they assumed he was trying to protect himself and attacked him, killing him and taking his sheep. In response, Allah revealed a verse in the Quran which states that believers should respond positively when someone greets them with salutation. This hadith teaches us that we should always be courteous when someone greets us, regardless if we know them or not. We should also remember that it is wrong for us to attack people who greet us out of suspicion or mistrust as this goes against Islamic teachings.
