حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ قَالَ
لَقِيتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَضَحِكَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ: تَدْرِي لِمَ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا بِكَ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي، وَلَكِنْ لَا أَرَاكَ فَعَلْتَهُ إِلَّا لِخَيْرٍ. قَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَفَعَلَ بِي مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْتُ بِكَ، فَسَأَلَنِي فَقُلْتُ: مِثْلَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لِي. فَقَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيُسَلِّمُ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، وَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ لَا يَأْخُذُهُ إِلَّا لِلهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَيَتَفَرَّقَانِ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُمَا

✧ I met al-Bara' b. 'Azib, and he greeted me, took my hand, and smiled in my face. He said: "Do you know why I did this to you?" He said: I said: "I do not know, but I see you did it only for good." He said: "The Messenger of God ﷺ met me and did to me the same as I did to you. He asked me, and I said the same as you said to me. He said: 'No two Muslims meet, one greets the other, and takes his hand—he does not take it except for God, Mighty and Majestic—but they part until they are forgiven.'"
