Chapter 136
Greeting the Children
862. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that he passed by some children and greeted them. Then he said: "Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) used to do the same.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: By greeting children, we please their hearts and also vent our modesty. Besides, the importance of As-Salam is unconsciously felt by them. Above all it is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) and so we are supposed to put it into practice.
