حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يُسَلِّمُ الرَّاكِبُ عَلَى الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي عَلَى الْقَاعِدِ وَالْقَلِيلُ عَلَى الْكَثِيرِ " . وَزَادَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى فِي حَدِيثِهِ " وَيُسَلِّمُ الصَّغِيرُ عَلَى الْكَبِيرِ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ وَفَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ .

Al-Hasan reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said: ‘The rider greets the one walking, the one walking greets the one sitting, and the smaller group greets the larger group.’ Ibn al-Muthanna added in his version: ‘And the young greet the elderly.’
There are reports on this topic from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Shibl, Fadalah ibn ‘Ubayd, and Jabir. Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith has been transmitted from Abu Hurayrah through more than one route. Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, Yunus ibn ‘Ubayd, and ‘Ali ibn Zayd said that al-Hasan did not hear from Abu Hurayrah.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The transmission chain cites al-Hasan from Abu Hurayrah, but the source records several scholars’ view that al-Hasan did not hear from him.
