أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ وَالْأَسْوَدِ وَأَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ حَتَّی يُرَی بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ حَتَّی يُرَی بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1330
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to say the Salam to his right: “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah),” until the whiteness of his right cheek could be seen, and to his left: “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah),” until the whiteness of his left cheek could be seen. (Sahih)
