Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) passed by some children and greeted
them (by saying As-salamu 'alaikum to them). Then he said: The Prophet
(PBUH) used to do the same. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
To greet (saying As-salamu 'alaikum) small children is an excellent
expression of humbleness. Similarly, a believer is under obligation to
greet his wife and children while entering his home, and this will be a
sign of his humbleness as well. Besides, he is also supposed to greet
his subordinates, servants and other lowly people. Escape from it is an
indication of pride and arrogance and shows a deviation from the
practice of the Prophet (PBUH) which is enough to incur the displeasure
of Allah.
