Riyad as-Salihin 850 (Book 5, Hadith 7) #37339
Rewards for Greetings

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) rewarded people for greeting him with different levels of blessings.

'Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man came to the Prophet and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum (May peace be upon you). The Messenger of Allah responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Prophet said, "Ten (meaning the man had earned the merit of ten good deeds)". Another one came and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullah (May peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah)". The Messenger of Allah responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Messenger of Allah said, "Twenty". A third one came and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (May peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings)". The Messenger of Allah responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Messenger of Allah said, "Thirty". Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hasan.
عن عمران بن الحصين رضي الله عنهما قال‏:‏ جاء رجل إلى النبي فقال‏:‏ السلام عليكم، فرد عليه ثم جلس، فقال النبي ‏:‏ “عشر” ثم جاء آخر، فقال‏:‏ السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، فرد عليه فجلس، فقال‏:‏ ‏ "‏عشرون‏"‏ ثم جاء آخر، فقال‏:‏ السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته، فرد عليه فجلس، فقال‏:‏ “ثلاثون” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Use polite phrases while greeting someone else .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the rewards that one can receive from greeting another person. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was greeted by three different people who each used a different phrase to greet him. For each phrase he responded with a reward of ten, twenty or thirty good deeds respectively. This shows us that it is important to be polite when we greet someone as it can bring us rewards from Allah SWT in the hereafter. We should also remember to use phrases such as ‘As-Salamu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu’ when we greet others so that we can receive the highest reward possible from Allah SWT.
