It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him) with a height of sixty cubits. Then He commanded him: Go and greet that group of angels who are sitting. Listen carefully to the reply they give you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your descendants.

Since then, the stature of mankind has been decreasing continuously."

He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spread salam (greetings of peace) among yourselves."

He says: I went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (and complained), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) with me. He says: Whoever we met (on the way) would greet us with salam. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Have you not noticed that people greet you first, so they receive the reward for initiating the greeting? If you initiate the salam, you will receive the reward. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to narrate this from himself.
