(521) Chapter: When someone greets a Christian whom he does not recognize
15
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْفَرَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِنَصْرَانيٍّ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ، فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّهُ نَصْرَانِيٌّ، فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: رُدَّ عَلَيَّ سَلامِي.


'Abdu'r-Rahman said, "Ibn 'Umar passed by a Christian who greetedhim and Ibn 'Umar returned the greeting He was told that the man was aChristian. When he learned that, he went back to him and said, 'Give meback my greeting.'"
