حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الطَّوِيلِ، - رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ - عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ فَكَلَّمَهُ لَمْ يَصْرِفْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْصَرِفُ وَإِذَا صَافَحَهُ لَمْ يَنْزِعْ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْزِعُهَا وَلَمْ يُرَ مُتَقَدِّمًا بِرُكْبَتَيْهِ جَلِيسًا لَهُ قَطُّ .

It was narrated that ‘Ali ibn Muhammad said: Waki‘ narrated to us, from Abu Yahya al-Tawil—a man from the people of Kufa—from Zayd al-‘Ammi, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: ‘When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met someone and spoke with him, he would not turn his face away until that person turned away. When he shook someone’s hand, he would not withdraw his hand until the other person withdrew theirs. He was never seen sitting with his knees ahead of those of the person sitting with him.’
