adab:1103

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not give the People of the Book the greeting first. Force them to the narrowest part of the road."

الأدب المفرد:١١٠٣حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ لاَ تَبْدَأُوهُمْ بِالسَّلاَمِ وَاضْطَرُّوهُمْ إِلَى أَضْيَقِ الطَّرِيقِ
