أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ حَتَّی يُرَی بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَبَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1329
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to say Salam to his right and to his left: “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah, As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah),” until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen from here, and the whiteness of his cheek from here. (Sahih)
