حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَی الطَّوِيلِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلُ الْکُوفَةِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ فَکَلَّمَهُ لَمْ يَصْرِفْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّی يَکُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْصَرِفُ وَإِذَا صَافَحَهُ لَمْ يَنْزِعْ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حَتَّی يَکُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْزِعُهَا وَلَمْ يُرَ مُتَقَدِّمًا بِرُکْبَتَيْهِ جَلِيسًا لَهُ قَطُّ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3716
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Whenever the Prophet (saw) met a man, he would speak to him, and would not turn away until he (the other man) was the one who turned away. And if he shook hands with him, he would not withdraw his hand until he (the other man) withdrew his hand. And he was never seen sitting with his knees ahead of the knees of the one who was sitting next to him", (Da’if)
