Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
Anas bin Malik said:
“When the people of Yemen came, the Prophet said: “The people of Yemen have come, and they have softer hearts than you, and they were the first people to initiate the tradition of shaking hands.”
['Silsilat al-Ahadith as-Sahihah'; # 527]
And in the narration of Ahmad, Anas said:
“So, the Ash’aris came forth - including Abu Musa al-Ash’ari - and when they approached Madinah, they began chanting:
Tomorrow, we shall meet our beloved * Muhammad and his party
So, when they finally arrived, they shook our hands. They were the first people to initiate the tradition of shaking hands.”
['Sahih al-Adab al-Mufrad'; 3/112]
Shaking hands when meeting and saying salaam is part of the etiquette of Islam and its good morals. It is an expression of love between the two who shake hands, as it dispels hatred, rancour and grudges among the Muslims. There is a great hadeeth which speaks of its virtue, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are no two Muslims who meet and shake hands with one another, but they will be forgiven before they part.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (5212); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Shaking hands was a custom that was well known among the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them).
It was narrated that Qataadah said: I said to Anas ibn Maalik: Did the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) shake hands with one another? He said: Yes. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6263).
Ibn Battaal said: Shaking hands is good according to most of the scholars. Al-Nawawi said: Shaking hands when meeting is a Sunnah on which there is consensus – as stated in Fath al-Baari (11/55).
May Allah SWT give us all the tawfeeq to act upon each and every Sunnah..Aameen.
