Arabic hadith text

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ جِئْتُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنْتُ وَجْهَهُ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَيْسَ بِوَجْهِ كَذَّابٍ. فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا قَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ وَصِلُوا الْأَرْحَامَ وَصَلُّوا بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلام» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه والدارمي

Translation

Abdullah ibn Salam said: When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, I came to him. When I saw his face clearly, I recognized that it was not the face of a liar. The first thing he said was, ‘People, spread the greeting of peace, feed others, maintain ties of kinship, and pray at night while people are asleep; you will enter Paradise in peace.’ Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi transmitted it.
