Remembrance 2 from Chapter 213

Wa raḥmatu-llāhi wa barakātuhu wa maghfiratuhu wa riḍwānuh.

We relate in the book of Ibn as-Sunnī, with a weak isnād, that Anas related that a man used to pass by the Prophet , herding the animals of his Companions, and say “Peace be upon you, Messenger of Allah,” and the Prophet would say to him: “And on you be peace and the mercy, blessings, forgiveness, and good pleasure of Allah.” Someone said: “You have greeted this person with a greeting with which you have not greeted any of your Companions.” He replied: “What is there to stop me from doing so, when he goes away with the reward of ten men or more?” ^[2].
