'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As said, "A liar is someone who lies
in his oath. A miser is someone who is miserly with the greeting. A thief
is someone who steals the prayer."
Abu Hurayra said, "The most miserly of people is the one who is
miserly with the greeting. The most incapable of people of people is the
one who is the most incapable of supplication."
'Abdullah said, "Peace is one of the Names of Allah which Allah
has placed on the earth. Extend it among you. When a man greets people
and they answer him, then he has a higher degree than them because he reminds
them of peace. If no one answers him, he will be answered by one who is
better and more excellent.'"
