Sunan an-Nasai 1083 (Book 12, Hadith 55) #15691
Greeting People with Takbir

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to greet people and say the takbir when going up and down. This was also done by Abu Bakr and Umar.

It was narrated that Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: "The Messenger of Allah used to say the takbir every time he went down and came up, and he would say the Salam to his right and his left. And Abu Bakr and 'Umar used to do likewise".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، وَيَحْيَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، وَالأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُكَبِّرُ فِي كُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ - رضى الله عنهما - يَفْعَلاَنِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about the practice of the Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar in greeting people. Whenever they went up or down, they would say the takbir which is a phrase that means “God is great” in Arabic. They would also greet those around them with salaam which means “peace” in Arabic. This teaches us to be kind to others by greeting them whenever we meet them or pass by them. It also reminds us of God's greatness and encourages us to remember Him often throughout our day-to-day lives.
