Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى صِبْيَانٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُهُ.
Translation
Ali ibn al-Jad narrated to us: Shubah informed us, from Sayyar, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who passed by some boys, greeted them, and said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do this.
