(480) بَابُ مَنْ كَرِهَ تَسْلِيمَ الْخَاصَّةِ
Tariq said, "We were sitting with 'Abdullah when his doorkeeper
came and said, 'The iqama for the prayer has been given.' He got up and
we got up as well and went to the mosque. He saw the people doing ruku'
at the front of the mosque. He said the takbir, bowed, and we went and
did the same thing that he had done. Then a man rushed past and said, 'Peace
be upon you, Abu 'Abdu'r-Rahman.' He said, 'Allah has spoken the truth
and His Messenger conveyed the Message.' When we finished the prayer, he
returned and went back to is people. We remained sitting in our places,
waiting for him until he came out. We said to each other, 'Which of us
will ask him?' Tariq said, 'I will ask him,' and he did so. 'Abdullah said,
'From the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said, "Before
the Final Hour people will single out one individual for the greeting,
commerce will increase until a woman helps her husband in business, people
will sever their links with their relatives, knowledge will spread, false
testimony will appear and true testimony will be concealed."'"
