Tufail bin Abi bin Ka'b used to come to Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and would go with him to the market early in the morning. Tufail says: When we reached the market, Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would greet every seller of poor-quality goods, every shopkeeper, every needy person, and everyone he met with salam. One day I came to Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he wanted to take me to the market. I said: What will you do by going to the market? You do not stay with the sellers, nor do you inquire about any goods, nor do you bargain with anyone, nor do you sit in the gatherings of the market. Stay here with us, we will talk with you. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: O man with the big belly (Tufail had a big belly)! We go to the market to give salam; we greet everyone we meet.
