English narration
Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Suhayl ibn Abu Salih said: I went out with my father to Syria. The people passed by the cloisters in which there were Christians and began to salute them. My father said: Do not give them salutation first, for Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Do not salute them (Jews and Christians) first, and when you meet them on the road, force them to go to the narrowest part of it.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ , حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ , عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ , قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الشَّامِ , فَجَعَلُوا يَمُرُّونَ بِصَوَامِعَ فِيهَا نَصَارَى فَيُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ , فَقَالَ أَبِي : لَا تَبْدَءُوهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ , فَإِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : "
لَا تَبْدَءُوهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ , وَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ , فَاضْطَرُّوهُمْ إِلَى أَضْيَقِ الطَّرِيقِِ
