Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الشَّامِ فَكَانَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ يَمُرُّونَ بِأَهْلِ الصَّوَامِعِ فَيُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَسَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَبْدَءُوهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ وَاضْطَرُّوهُمْ إِلَى أَضْيَقِهِ.
English Translation
Suhayl ibn Abi Salih said: I went out with my father to Syria, and the people of Syria would pass by the people of the hermitages and greet them. I heard my father say: I heard Abu Hurayrah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "Do not initiate the greeting of peace with them, and push them to the narrowest part of the road."
