Offering Greetings First

SUMMARY: The person who is more obedient to Allah will be the first to offer a greeting.

Abu Umamah Sudaiy bin 'Ajlan Al-Bahili (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "The person nearest to Allah is one who is the first to offer greeting". Abu Dawud, with a sound chain. The narration in At-Tirmidhi is: The Messenger of Allah was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! When two persons meet, who should greet the other first?'' The Messenger of Allah said, "The person nearest to Allah (ie, one who is more obedient and therefore closer to Allah will say: As-Salam first)".
