The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you comes to an assembly, he should give a salutation and if he feels inclined to get up, he should give a salutation, for the former is not more of a duty than the latter. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5208)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ وَإِذَا قَامَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ فَلَيْسَتِ الْأُولَى بِأَحَقَّ مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ»
