Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Sahih (Al-Albani)
قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ‏:‏ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ‏:‏ الْمَاشِيَانِ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَا فَأَيُّهُمَا بَدَأَ بِالسَّلاَمِ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ‏.‏
Jabir said, "When two people walking meet, then the one who gives the greeting first is the better of them."
