حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَمُسَدَّدٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِيَانِ ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا انْتَهَی أَحَدُکُمْ إِلَی الْمَجْلِسِ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ فَلَيْسَتْ الْأُولَی بِأَحَقَّ مِنْ الْآخِرَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5208
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you comes to an assembly, he should give a salutation and if he feels inclined to get up, he should give a salutation, for the former is not more of a duty than the latter.
