[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, arrived in Medina, people gathered and said, "The Messenger of Allah has arrived, the Messenger of Allah has arrived." He said, "So I went out with those who went out, and when I saw his face, I recognized that his face was not the face of a liar. The first thing I heard him say was, 'O people, spread peace, feed the hungry, maintain family ties, and pray while people are asleep so that you may enter Paradise in peace.'"

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived- meaning in Al-Madinah – the people came out to meet him. It was said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had arrived, so I went among the people to get a look at him. When I gazed upon the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I knew that this face was not the face of a liar. The first thing that he spoke about was that he said: 'O you people! Spread the Salam, feed(others), and perform Salat while the people are sleeping; you will enter Paradise with(the greeting of) Salam.'” (Sahih)  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ.
