Riyad as-Salihin 866 (Book 5, Hadith 23) #37355
Greeting Non-Muslims

SUMMARY: Muslims should not greet Jews and Christians before they greet them, and if they meet one of them on the road, they should make them go to the narrowest part of it.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you; and when you meet any one of them on the road, force him to go to the narrowest part of it". Muslim.
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ لا تبدءوا اليهود ولا النصارى بالسلام، فإذا لقيتم أحدهم في طريق فاضطروه إلى أضيقه‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Muslims should interact with non-Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when a Muslim meets a Jew or Christian on the road, they should not greet them first but instead make them go to the narrowest part of it. This is because in those times, roads were often very crowded and people would have to move aside for others to pass through. By making someone go to the narrowest part of the road, it would be easier for everyone else who was walking by. Additionally, this hadith teaches us that we must respect all people regardless of their faith or beliefs and treat everyone equally without prejudice or discrimination.
