حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الأَغَرَّ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَوْسُقٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ اخْتَلَفَ إِلَيْهِ مِرَارًا قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ قَالَ فَكُلُّ مَنْ لَقِينَا سَلَّمُوا عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَلاَ تَرَى النَّاسَ يَبْدَأُونَكَ بِالسَّلاَمِ فَيَكُونُ لَهُمُ الأَجْرُ؟ ابْدَأْهُمْ بِالسَّلاَمِ يَكُنْ لَكَ الأَجْرُ يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ

Translation

✧ He informed him that al-Agharr, a man from Muzaynah who had companionship with the Prophet ﷺ, had loads of dates owed to him by a man from Banū ʿAmr b. ʿAwf. He went to him several times. He said, "So I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he sent Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq with me." He said, "Everyone we met greeted us." Abū Bakr said, "Do you not see that people are initiating the greeting with you, and so the reward is theirs? Initiate the greeting with them, and the reward will be yours." Ibn ʿUmar relates this from himself.
