HANDSHAKING IS REWARDED

|H 900

“When two Muslims meet and shake hands they are forgiven their
sins before they part.”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Bra'a who related that the Prophet, praise and peace
be upon him, said this.

DO NOT BOW TO YOUR BROTHER OR FRIEND

|H 901

“A man asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, „O
Messenger of Allah, when one of us meets a brother or a friend
should he bow to him?‟ He replied, „No.‟ The man asked, „Should he
grasp his hand and shake it?‟ He replied, „Yes.‟”
